I have made such a script,  here i check the  browser lan code, took me some time to find the vars at the end of the php page, was rather expecting them in the implementation and installation section, or at least have a hint that the vars are defined there.

Besides that really great tool.

a List of samples beside the 3 installed and a little more documentation, eg the cookies, etc would be fine.

/* check if gtans cookie with lan has been set, then use val */
/* if cookie is set and gtranslan is other then set the new language */
/* if no cookie is set use the browser setting for lan */
/* check if lan = geoip country */

ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
ini_set('html_errors', 0);
error_reporting(-1);

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'])) {
$current_lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'] ;
$current_lang = substr($current_lang,0,2);
$returninguser = 1;
}else{
$current_lang = '' ;
$returninguser = 0;
}
$domain= 'mydomain.com';
$browser_language = substr($language,0,2);

if(isset($_COOKIE['sitecalled'])) {
$cookie_sitecalled = trim($_COOKIE['sitecalled']);
}else{
$cookie_sitecalled = '';
}

$redirect = 0; $redirlan = '';
/* here all variations will be dealt with */
if($cookie_sitecalled == '' and $current_lang == '' ) {
/* NO cookie , default WP - set browser lan */
$redirect = 1;
$redirlan = $browser_language;
} if($cookie_sitecalled != '' and $current_lang == '' ) {
/* EXISTING cookie found , default WP - set cookie lan */
$redirect = 1;
$redirlan = $cookie_sitecalled;
} if(($cookie_sitecalled != '' and $current_lang != '') and ($cookie_sitecalled !=$current_lang) ) {
/* EXISTING cookie found , Choose new lan site - set cookie lan now I need to check if these are the same or not, otherwise I will run in circles */
$redirect = 1;
$redirlan = $current_lang;
}

if($redirect == 1) {

if($redirlan == 'zh') {
header("Location: http://zh-cn.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='en'){
header("Location: http://en.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='ro'){
header("Location: http://ro.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='fi'){
header("Location: http://fi.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='fr'){
header("Location: http://fr.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='sk'){
header("Location: http://sk.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='cz'){
header("Location: http://cz.".$domain);
} elseif ($redirlan =='ru'){
header("Location: http://ru.".$domain);
}

else {
header("Location: http://en.".$domain);
$redirlan ='en';
}
setcookie('sitecalled', $redirlan, time()+1000000000,'/','.'.$domain);
return true;
}else{}

/* echo "Browser:".$language."_cookie:".$cookie_sitecalled."_Gtrans_call".$current_lang; */

Hi Stephen,
I've bought chameleon a few minutes ago, and I am lost. I just need to redirect users from Spain to es.mysite.com, and other  countries each to their respective to country.mysite.com
How do I setup these rules (it sounds so simple, but I see too many options there in backend). Please help me. just a screenshot or two would be of great help. I have a deadline in 10 hours and my job is hanging of a very thin line. . 
Regards

EDIT. I did it myself.

I just want to clarify one thing – the "preferred list of languages" doesn't do what you think it does. In your case, it doesn't do anything at all. It only takes effect when you use "Most preferred language from supplied list" from "$language handling".  And even then, it's only going to affect the "only these languages" or "Exclude these languages" boxes. You didn't display a screenshot of these - I assume you didn't use them.

Thanks Stephen,
I used it because I didn't know if I need it or not, just in case

Thanks for the explanation!

Regards

P.S. Thanks for the partial refund too! Much appreciated.
