Ciao Alessandro,

I'm no expert, but I think your config file
explicitly defeats caching when there is a cookie.

41  if (req.http.Authorization || req.http.Cookie) {

I would suggest explicitly matching the "django_language"
cookie, setting a custom header with its contents, and
then using that as a hash part, so:

In vcl_recv():

     set req.http.X-Cookie-Language = regsub(req.http.Cookie, "...");

In vcl_hash():

     set req.hash += req.http.X-Cookie-Language;

This is part of one config I'm using, the vcl_recv() bit:

     if (req.http.Cookie ~ "language=") {
         set req.http.X-Varnish-Language =
             regsub(req.http.Cookie, "^.*?language=([^;]*?);*.*$", "\1");
     }

The regexp above is probably overly complicated.
I tried a couple of times to simplify it, but I always broke it.
Suggestions welcome :)
