It can help to make more flexible default templates for multilanguage sites (e.g. hreflang link attributes in html headers).

Is there a way to retrieve the value of defaultContentLanguage?

No, but the langugages are sorted, so if you want “the first” you can always do index .Site.Home.AllTranslations 0.

Should `site.DefaultContentLanguage` be readable?
