Automatic language selection based on browser settings

Hi,

Our website currently has multiple languages which can be switched with a language dropdown box. The switch will add the correct country and language code to the URL e.g. en-US.

Now we would like to initially redirect the user to the page in the language of his/her browser settings when they enter the website with a url that does not specify the language.

Is this possible by using standard features of DynamicWeb?

Hi Tymen

You can use HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages in a Razor template, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18826282/detecting-browser-display-language

So if the URL does not have a language code, find the one from the browser, and locate the best match and make a redirect.
