Choose language based on browser setting

Hi!

We use in our project several language versions for the content in the frontend. Is there any way to have Sitefinity choose the language version automatically when a user navigates to the website based on the user's browser settings?

In Sitefinity 3.7 I was able to set this in the web.config file, but I can't find any documentation on how this is done in Sitefinity 4.

Best Regards,
David Knittl

Hello David,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

That's a tough one - yes we used to support this in 3.x, but for 4.0 you'll have to implement a custom handler to achieve this functionality.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further help with this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes,

Hi,

Our colleague Jen Peleva has shared some recommendations and a sample approach to achieving this functionality by intercepting the user's first request, checking for their browser's culture, and redirecting to a specified URL. You can find more information about this suggestion discussed in this forum thread, hope you find it useful.
