[SOLVED] Auto detect language (desktop + mobile) | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Support » General Questions

Hello,


I am trying to find a plugin that automatically detects the users language and displays the site corresponding to it. I have German and English (German is set as main language), so even when accessing the website from the USA, it still shows the German website :(


I tried to find a plugin that can do this, either by IP or browser-language. The only one I found was "locale", but this plugin interferes with my paypal plugin so I cannot use it (users cannot pay anymore via paypal if that plugin is installed).


I tried searching plugins and forums, but I cannot find a good plugin that can do this.


Any suggestions?


Thank you

Matthias

There was a plugin called "Auto language selector + Country blocker" some time ago, but it was suspended from the Store as the developer was not able to support it anymore. You can try to contact the original developer Kairat Bakitow, but you must consider to develop a new one as there isn't such plugin at the moment.

Thank you (Dankeschön) Oxwall Germany,


I actually own this plugin as well but had to remove it due to it causing issues on my website :(


Looks like this needs custom coding.. as long as some plugin dev does not want to take on this? Here is for hoping!

Which type of problems does it cause?

If I remember correct it caused issues with the registration.


I just noticed that the "locale" plugin has an update waiting. I have it deactivated but maybe I will try it again and it fixed the issues.

many plug-ins broke communication, personally I'm editing myself now. I can help you with this problem if you want to work together.

NOTE: I'm not providing help for any add-on enabled developer. I can only provide assistance to developer applications that stop communicating.

I create plugin which detect default language from user browser, if you added this language for your site, then plugin change default oxwall language to lang from user browser.

great work again Artmedia but how to access this plugin? The link was broken i think


if you have for example china set in you browser and then your oxwall site not have that language installed, will then the plugin set the site to a default language?


i hope you understand my question


it would bee awsome if you can set what pages that will do this language check, because i have different url as landing pages plus i have one url to my pwa app as landing page


i hope this check will not slow down you site to much....


there is many different browsers for mobile phones and desktop but i know you can fix it so it works


looking forward to this plugin


nice work

I do not know this plugin because my website is one language but I'm sure it's excellent, ArtMedia is the best plugin developer I've met in this forum. The best. And also, it gives you free technical support, intelligent support, not that easy to "remove all the other plugins, put the default theme" and you will see how mine works and the fault of another.
