TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for Polylang users running a multilingual WordPress site with locale variants of the same language, such as de_DE and de_AT. It detects a visitor's country to set the correct locale instead of relying solely on browser language settings.

  • Detects visitor country
  • Sets language by country
  • Distinguishes same-language locales
  • Requires Polylang Pro

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Polylang – Country Detection

The plugin detects the country with the IP Geolocation API (https://ip-api.com/). If no available language by country is found, the language of the browser is preferred. (https://polylang.pro/doc/detect-the-browser-preferred-language/)
