FAQ

How can I make sure that the language detection works fine?

Just change your browser’s language settings: You can choose different languages as well as a priority for each of them. If you hit a page of your website without any L parameter in the URL, the extension should apply the correct language.

Where do I find ISO 639-1 codes?

Wikipedia offers a list of the ISO 639-1 codes. The actual codes used depends on the version of static_info_tables you have installed. Using the latest version is of course recommended.

How can I use the PEAR package Net_GeoIP?

You have to install the PEAR package Net_GeoIP. After that you only need a GeoIP database to get the origin country by the visitor’s IP address. A database (with CC license) can be found on the website of Maxmind. After that you have to define the path to this database file in TypoScript:

plugin.tx_rlmplanguagedetection_pi1 {
   pathToDatabaseForGeoIPData = EXT:another_extension/path/to/file
}
