Looking for a code to autodetect/display site in visitors language

Hi
I try to find a way so when my customer come to my site landing page it will show in the language they coming from, mean based on there computer language setting or IP number. is there such a script/code.

 

Assuming that IP equals language is not going to get you anywhere. Do not make that mistake. As an example, in Belgium they speak Dutch, German and French. How can you distinguish which language the user from that country speaks? You can't. Same is true for Canada, Switzerland and a bunch of other countries. Just give your users the option to chose the language they want to view your site in. (A drop down menu with a language selection would do).

 

I definitely have to second that -- just don't even go there.

Between proxies, hosting providers that straddle multiple nations within the same IP address blocks, (half the time most attempts at doing that to my hosting reports me as being one country over in the middle of french speaking canada -- a good haul from New Hampshire), Countries where there's more than one language in common use...

Pulling those types of stunts is just ASKING for it to fail and to piss off some user somewhere at some time.

 

You can attempt to pick up the user language based on what language preference they have their browser on (usually that translates into the language they prefer):

JS:

var language = window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language;
alert(language);//works IE/SAFARI/CHROME/FF

Code (markup):

PHP:

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];

Code (markup):

That is true in some sense, but you can always assume (which is true to an extreme extent) that if someone lives in Belgium that they can speak its official language. There are a few exceptions to such rule but they are pretty low.

 

I suppose, but it still can be a mess. The OS's with IE browsers (IE 11) will return .userLanguage as the language of that OS and not that of the browser. Worth trying though, if that's what the OP really wants (as opposed to a drop down menu).
