Hi Community,

I would like to ask is it possible in FirstSpirit (page template for example) to get language of browser?

When user come to page, I need to detect his browser language, and regarding that information I need to display site in that language (or default if language of his browser is not supported in FS).

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Anel

Hi Anel,

when generating your site, include all available translations as

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-DE" href="https://www.domain.tld/site/">

On your site include a javascript that check the browser.language and match against the hreflang values. When you have found a page, ask your user if he would like to switch to that page.

Maybe there is a better solution for this.

best regards

Hi Anel,

like Jan already said you need a solution extended from FirstSpirit (JavaScript for example). Because FirstSpirit is pre-generating the website you have no browser information in FirstSpirit.

Best regards

Jan

Hi guys,

thank you for answers, I tought that we have something in FirstSpirit which can be used in this case.

Anyway, old good friend JavaScript will do the job.

Kind regards,
