1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

This small extension enables a language detection based on the visitor's browser settings.

In case

  1. the visitor prefers a different language than the default language

  2. he has not already actively selected a different language on the website

  3. the website provides the visitor's prefered language

the current page will be reloaded and the appropriate language will be set by using the "L" parameter.

Alternatively the multiple-tree concept for multi-langual websites may be used. In that case the visitor will be redirected to a certain page which acts as an entry page for the preferred language.
