Re: Change the language depend of the country

Hi Luis,

The main challenge for this setup is to ensure that you don't create redirect loops. That is, if you have already redirected someone to /es because they came from Spain, then make sure they don't get redirected again when they arrive there.

Can I ask, are you using Joomla's language facilities (articles and menu items tagged as different languages) to make your site multi-lingual, or have you simply set up menu items in a menu structure with top levels /es and /us, with relevant content in each one?

I'll hold off answering your question until you can answer that one, as it will change the approach.

Thanks
Stephen
