Rather than looking at the geocoded IP address (there could be people that 
speak language x in region y), I would suggest checking the client's 
Accept-Language headers to figure out which language(s) they'll accept.

That said, there is no built-in functionality to automatically detect these 
headers and translate your page. But you could build such functionality for 
yourself without too much trouble.
