As someone who recently returned from Denmark to the US I'm not loving
the auto detect of IP address.
I got sevved a few sites in Danish...and I don't know any Danish.
I understand how valuable it can be for the tons of folks who are on
their own environment but for the frequent taveller it must be a pain.
If there's a way around this, i'm unaware so any insight would be
great. Thx.

Jason,
Did you read my mind I was just about to send out a similar post.
My line of thought was about best practices on how users select
countries and languages on global websites.
A few questions...
Should sites auto detect IP addresses and serve default settings
according to country, language?
Should users have ability to chose their preferred country and
language preferences off a splash page as in Ikea.com on a first
visit (and/or subsequent visits) and have the ability to change at
will?
Thanks
Catríona

Hi all,
I'm new to building internationalized web sites, and so I'm looking
at design patterns for language pickers.
Have you seen any good ones? Much appreciated. Thanks!
Jason R.
