Question

I m trying to implement this code to have different files to load for german, spanish or english browser languages of choice. The case is that with my spanish IE I still get the english file.

<?php 
if (is_home()) {
  if (preg_match( /de-DE/i , $_SERVER[ HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE ])) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH .  /german-navbar.php  );
  }
  elseif (preg_match( /es-ES/i , $_SERVER[ HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE ])) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH .  /spanish-navbar.php  );
  }
  else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH .  /english-navbar.php  );
  }
}

I used both HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, and HTTP_USER_AGENT.

This is the test of the site, if anyone wanted to check it, with german or spanish as a language of choice in the browser : http://paragraphe.org/janette/

I have my Firefox in english and is working nice, but I can t be sure the code is working for spanish and german cases.

I found the snippet in this SO thread, but I m a bit lost at this point.

Thanks so much for any input,

EDIT: the code does work in Firefox (but not IE).

Answer 1

first of all, you can use the User Agent Switcher extension for firefox to fake useragents and test it, though you d have to fake the headers of the requests for HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, for instance with the Modify Headers extension (which also lets you change the user agents as well as the header)

oh, and it doesn t work in german:

Warning: include(/home/paragrap/public_html/janette/wp-content/themes/Janette/german-home.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/paragrap/public_html/janette/wp-content/themes/Janette/home.php on line 4

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening  /home/paragrap/public_html/janette/wp-content/themes/Janette/german-home.php  for inclusion (include_path= .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php ) in /home/paragrap/public_html/janette/wp-content/themes/Janette/home.php on line 4

Answer 2

try this out please:

Just provide $availableLanguages as an array( en , de , es )

function get_client_language($availableLanguages, $default= en ){

if (isset($_SERVER[ HTTP_ACCEPT_language ])) {

    $langs=explode( , ,$_SERVER[ HTTP_ACCEPT_language ]);

    //start going through each one
    foreach ($langs as $value){

        $choice=substr($value,0,2);
        if(in_array($choice, $availableLanguages)){
            return $choice;

        }

    }
} 
return $default;

}
