It detects the browser language of your user and shows a popup if his browser language is different from the default language of your website. There your user can change the language. Once the user selects a language, the information is stored in a cookie. When he visits the startpage again, he automatically gets redirected to the language he selected. ### Smart display behavior with browser language detection This plugin detects the browser language of your user. The pop-up only appears, if the user’s browser language is different from the default language of your website. ### SEO friendly We will only redirect the user after he has chosen a language in the popup. So there is no automatic redirection without user interaction. As it is unclear, how this would affect your SEO. ### Stores user selection in a cookie Once the user selects a language, the information is stored in a cookie. This cookie is used to redirect the user to his preferred language. ### Redirects user the next time he visits your website When he visits the startpage again, he automatically gets redirected to the language he selected the last time. ### Support Please use the support forum I will be happy to help. ## Screenshots * [[ * The language switcher popup for WPML ## Installation 1.
