Hi,

could you add the possibility to get the browser language?

Best Regards

Hi,

Browser sends in the headers the list of preferred languages and numbers indicating how much each language is preferred.

Do you need to output:

1) the most preferred language?

2) or all preferred languages in order of how much each is preferred?

3) or to output “yes/no” in case certain language is/is not among preferred languages?

Hi again,

It seems, that the best approach would be to output “negotiated language” using http_negotiate_language function of the pecl_http package, isn’t it?

Hi again,

I relesed version 2.2 of Browser Sniff plugin.

In this version there is new variable “browser_sniff_negotiated_language” and new parameter - “available languages”.

Use it as follows (first laguage in pipe delimited list is default site’s language):

{exp:browser_sniff available_languages="fi|se|en"}

{if browser_sniff_negotiated_language == "se"}

here goes content for Swedish speakers

{if:elseif browser_sniff_negotiated_language == "en"}

here goes content for English speakers

{if:else}

here goes default content in Finnish

{/if}

{/exp:browser_sniff}

Thank you for that!

I will give it a try to see if it works well for my case.

Hi,

Is there a way to get this stored as a variable? it works pretty well but i don’t know how this can scale and it would be more efficient to store it once per visitor or session.

Regards,

Hi,

You can store any variable Browser Sniff outputs using Cookie Plus plugin.

E.g. you can use the code as this (notice parameter “parse”!)

{exp:browser_sniff available_languages="fi|se|en" parse="inward"}

{exp:cookie_plus:set name="lang" value="{browser_sniff_negotiated_language}" seconds="36000"}

{/exp:browser_sniff}
