Topic: select language by ip?
I thought the system switched automaticly by IP to the language, but apparently that doesn't work.
I have an htaccess for this, but can you asure me VLD does not have this function?

It does not. You may present users with a list of available languages for them to choose from.

This is not present in the current system.
The have this facility it would have to be coded manually., ie., get IP (we already have that) -> use IP to look-up country (function already present, reliability = ?, but there are others) -> present this countries language as the default.

Thx guys.
I've found this:
http://www.htaccesstools.com/redirection-by-language/
It redirects by htacces, example for dutch:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} (nl) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.mysite.eu/index.php?language=dutch [R,L]

It doesn't work :-/
It keeps refreshing, because the homepage is also in the maindirectory.
I've found this script:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
var language = navigator.language;
else
var language = navigator.browserLanguage;
if (language.indexOf('en') > -1) document.location.href = 'http://www.site.eu/index.php?language=english';
else if (language.indexOf('de') > -1) document.location.href = 'http://www.site.eu/index.php?language=german';
else
document.location.href = 'http://www.site.eu/index.php?language=english';
// End -->
</script>

But the problem still persists because of the index.php
So I created a index.html with this script.
Gotta test this out and I'll tell you the news...
