Squid does not (yet) support that find-grained level of smart variant
handling. It will happily cache variants on the full-text of the named
headers though.

What you need to do is specify the language variance in the same way you
specify compressed/non-compressed variance.

Sent from the web server:
   Vary: Accept-Language

(it may need combining with the existing Vary header values, probably to
"Vary: Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding")

With a ETag header as well wherever possible.
