DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

What does it do?

This small extension enables a language detection based on the visitor’s browser settings, IP address. More ways of language detection can be added through hooks.

The current page will be reloaded and the appropriate language will be set, in case:

  • The visitor prefers a different language than the default language
  • The visitor has not already actively selected a different language on the website
  • The website provides the visitor’s preferred language or the website provides a language similar to the visitor’s.

Alternatively the multiple-tree concept for multi-lingual websites may be used. In that case the visitor will be redirected to a certain page which acts as an entry page for the preferred language.
