    Language geolocation is in its infancy - it fails almost as often as it succeeds. The best multilingual site is one on which you have flags for the various languages and allow the user to choose.

    If you really want geolocation, start at Google's geolocation Getting Started page. That's what you have to do. (You can't write a generic multilingual script that can plug into any site - the site has to be written in all the languages it will display, and the user is sent to the correct page based on his location or language choice.)

    Oh, one problem with doing automatically. Tourists will be driven crazy if they aren't fluent in the language of the country they're connecting from, since they can't tell your script "no, I'm not from here - give me my language".
