The browser's locale is a MUCH better practice. Also consider that
maybe you have someone visiting a far away place but they don't speak
the language... it's annoying if a site they visit from the US in
English comes up there in Chinese or Hindu or Swahili and they have NO
idea how to even change the language...
Yes, I speak from personal unpleasant experience (well, and of course
client discussions).

Why not use the browser's locale setting? Those IP databases can
have errors, or the user's IP might not be included in the database.

Hi Guys,
I am looking for similiar thing - get geo Country by IP. What I
would like
is to automatically set session locale based on visitor's IP.
Example, for
United Kingdom's users it will set UK's locale and hence show the
respective
content etc.
The question is does ofbiz have something already built-in for
that? Or
should I go with the implementation based on
http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/ db? Load that csv db in
ofbiz entity
and have a <preprocessor> which does lookup etc.
