I have a website in the English language, is it possible that the website language be changed according to Google’s geographic location automatically? for example, if anyone opens my website in Japan/UAE/France then the website language automatically changes to Google geographic location countywide.
Hi there,
Thank you for posting in the IPinfo community. Although I am not sure if it would be possible to access Google geographic data, to achieve your goal of setting a majority language of a region of the visitor, you can:
- Use IPinfo’s geolocation API or database downloads. You can use the API for city-level data, or the free IP to country for free country-level data or the IP to geolocation database downloads for city-level data.
- Use a complementary location database (e.g. geonames.org) that provides languages spoken for a geographic point. That geographic point can be a city, region, or country.
- Implement IP geolocation detection on the site using IPinfo.
- When a visitor visits your website, you can look up their IP address and get their geolocation data using IPinfo’s API or database.
- Then use the geolocation information we have received and look up in the location database to get the preferred languages of the majority.
- Use that information to serve your content in that language.
For all this to work, you need to translate your website content into the languages of the visitor and prepare a dynamic content serving mechanism.
