What is Language Detection?
Auto-detecting visitor language from browser headers or IP — best used to suggest, never to force-redirect.
In more depth
Forced redirects break crawling and frustrate travelers. Show a banner suggestion and remember the choice.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Language Detection helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
