[PHP] User's language settings
Hello!
I have a web-site, part of which is in Russian and another part in English.
English and Russian parts are located in different directories. The
web-site is static.
I want to create a PHP file, which redirects the user from /index.php to
/ru/index.html, when his primary language is Russian and to
/en/index.html, when his primary language is non-Russian.
In other words:
?php
if ($languageRussian)
{
header(Location: http://dapissarenko.com/ru/index.html;);
}
else
{
header(Location: http://dapissarenko.com/en/index.html;);
}
exit;
?
How can I determine user's primary language?
Thanks!

$_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] - string with user's language
preferences. However only a fraction of users willingly set it, so many
times it will be on its default value, english even for russian speaking
visitors.

Yup. I think it's better if you let the visitors decide.

Perhaps try to advertise it somewhere on your site, how to set it in various browsers. People will use this once they realise the setting is there. It's very nice to go to a website without doing anything special and be greeted by your mother tongue. Once they experience this they will like it. HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE will look like this: ro,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Comma is the main delimiter, separating languages. The q signifies precedence among similar languages, such as en-us vs en. Otherwise, the order in which the languages were given sets precedence. -- Skippy - Romanian Web Developers - http://ROWD.ORG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
