Joomla location redirect


I'm looking for an extension (or script) by which I can redirect the user who enters the website to his own language.

I use the Joomla CMS and in this CMS i've built 4 different languages. Is there an extension available who identifies the IP and based on that redirects it to the English or French version of the website?

Basically, all the urls are like this http://www.example.com/en/ and http://www.example.com/fr/

I was looking around, but I'm not familiar with this field and I think I'm looking at the wrong keywords.


Solution

  • The isn't an extension that I know of that can redirect the user based on their IP address for a specific language, however what you can do is enable the plugin System - Language Filter. Once it also gives you the option Language Selection for new Visitors either depending on their browser language or their site settings.

    Do bare in mind that this plugin should only be enabled when the Language Switcher module is published.

    Hope this helps
