Detect language if no cookie

Question

Detect language if no cookie

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 7 comments

Instead of setting the default language in Yii (en-US), it would be nice if this extension could "guess" the language of the user, based on:

the language of the browser
the location of the user (using php-geoip http://php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php or any other/better?)

As an extra, it would be nice if the order/priority of the above checks can be configured (the same way the cookie name can be configured).

Also, make a fallback option, aka, if the detected language is X, but the extension's laguages option was set only to A, B, C, use a fallback language.

Nice! :)
Can you implement GeoIP based detection capabilities too?

Answer 4 · 2015-03-29T12:03:59.000Z

GeoIP is not yet implemented The language is currently determined by the browser's language.

Yes, I saw that, I was asking if you plan to implement it, and if "yes", maybe reopen this issue? :)

I am not sure if I am going to implement it yet. I need to do a bit of research.

Ok, ask me if you have any questions ;)
I'd do it myself, but, you know... time... (or the lack of it)
