    Hello coders,

    Need assistance on a dilemma I am having. I have a company developing a site for me. An issue we are having is trying to find a way to segregate language at signup. So when a visitor signs up and chooses a language, I want them to be able to only communicate with people of the same language.

    We were thinking of doing this through IP matching...

    What do you guys think?

    There are many ways you can do it.

    With www.VirtualAssistantDirect.com we don't use IP matching but identify the primary language set in their web browser (the site is english & spanish with the default being english).

    As your creating accounts, simply add a field/ role to the account of language and store their prefered language against the account. Then filter on the field/ role when searchign/ displaying other people.

    IP is a bad option as there are many circumstances where it wont work
