Directing visitors to correct language version via their IP address

Site URL: https://www.bodegabravoescospriorat.com

Hi,
We have our website in 4 languages.
All working well, but now we are looking for possibility to direct visitorsd to the right language version using their IP address. I found sollution via Georatgetly.com but this subscription gets expense when we get many visitors.
Anybody knows another solution to direct visitors to their langue-version?

Hey Sjors

IP address geolocation isn't usually the most reliable way to set the language, because the country doesn't determine a visitor's language. For example, in Canada they may prefer English or French. In Switzerland they may prefer German, French, Italian or Romansh!

It's better to set the website's language by asking for the visitor's browser 'locale'. For example in Canada the browser locale may be 'en-CA' for English speakers or 'fr-CA' for French.

You can obtain the browser language in JavaScript by checking the navigator.language value. Here's a test page where you can see it working 🙂.

The way that you use this will depend on the JavaScript that you are already using to set the website language. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Paul, this sounds like a very good idea and I'm gonna dive into it.
I hope I can manage to get it working with my limited knowledge on this...

Appreciate very much that you put so much effort in helping people, I see your name on many more forum-topics!

Hi again,
In your helpful answer you mention: here is a page were you see it working.
But I do not see that page.

Can you let me know where I can find an example?

Wish you a good evening,

Sjors
