Detecting Country and Language from Browser

Maybe it's not the better forum for this question but... here i am.

Does anybody knows how to find the country and the language to make the web multilanguage?

I am doing something with asp.net but it seems not working well:

If use request.Userlanguages I get "es" because it's spanish. But when I use currentculture i get "en-US" instead of "es-ES" that is what i should get in Spain.

Any suggestion?

 

you should get the IP and find what country it belongs to and don't ever use a browser.

if you search you'll find for ready databases with the country and IP lists

 

Thanks, but I finally have solved with the request.userlanguages.

The browser tells the language and the country that the user wants, so that I think that is better than the IP.

The problem is that i was looking for an "es-es" result when it was "es". For other countries gives things like "en-us" or "es-mx". So that the language is the left(xxx,2) and the country is the right(xxx,2). Then no problem whether the format is "xx" or "xx-yy".

 

Hi,

Looks like you have your solution, but if you change your mind, then you can get a free IP to Country lookup database here:

I will take a look.

Thanks

 

You have to first locate the IP of the user who is connecting to the website . COmpare the Ip with the database stored( which people like ip2location.com can provide you ) .Thus you can comfartable determine the country of orgin of the users and thereafter u can use it the way u want.
