Thread: display native language

Hello,

How can I make my site display in my native language when seen from my country and in English when seen from abroad"

Thank you!

You need to

1. Use twin versions of each page, in your language and in English. They must be PHP pages.
2. Use a small file (or database table) that will contain all your National IP addressses, and a script that will check the visitor's IP address. If it is found within the list of national IP addresses, it will redirect to the pages that are writen in your native language, otherwise it will redirect to the pages in english.

You could also put a Google Translate tool on the page somewhere so people can choose what language they want to see the site in... I found this very useful, however it will only translate text of course, but this would be an easier solution.

You'd just copy the following, paste it into an HTML element and place it where ever you want on your page.

<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
