Here's another question... How about displaying flags based on where the IP is from? I understand this would involve a small index of IP's, but perhaps it could be an exclusion. For example, 'if not from US, display flags'

edit - nevermind - that would be a very large index either way that would have to be referenced on every visit, which sounds very expensive

Nah its actually very easy to do. I have an ip database on my site which performs a similar function.

I would recommend using javascript instead to read the browser language.

var nav_lng="nolang"; //default language string
if(navigator.language)nav_lng=navigator.language;
else if(navigator.browserLanguage)nav_lng=navigator.browserLanguage;
else if(navigator.userLanguage)nav_lng=navigator.userLanguage;
else if(navigator.systemLanguage)nav_lng=navigator.systemLanguage;
else if(window.navigator.language)nav_lng=window.navigator.language;

for example, for english visitors the nav_lng variable will then contain either en-US or en-GB(for users from the UK or AU)


I actually have dynamic javascript translation going on as well right now using this and it works fine.
