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! dap
$_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.
