How can I do to create country redirects?
I mean, let's suppose I get a visitor to Mexico , so I would have to redirect to meusite.com/mx/ , since if I get a visit from Brazil go to meusite.com/br/ or even if you receive a Portugal visit redirect to meusite.com/pt/ , etc ...
How can I do this? What is the best solution?
You can use some features.
You can use javascript to get the geolocation of the request. However, you will have to know that longitude A and latitude B, is part of country X. I believe this will generate you some work:
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var la = position.coords.latitude;
var lo = position.coords.longitude; console.log([la, lo]);
});
}
There are companies that give you the exact location of the request based on the ip, for example, the company: link
One of the ways to identify which language the user wants to receive the content of the post is by evaluating the variable Accept-Language that comes in the request.
For example, in php would be:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
// "en-US,en;q=0.8"
In this case, the user accepts (wants) to receive the content in en-US . So, you know exactly where to redirect a post that comes from meusite.com/ to meusite.com/en for example.
This is the most common way of identifying where the user comes from, because the user usually configures what he wants to receive according to where they are: if he is in the US - is in Brazil - en-GB. But this is not a rule. Some users can configure their en-US browsers, be in Brazil and ignore all other languages. So this way of identifying the language is not based on where the user is, but rather what the user wants to receive - which is much better in my understanding.
If the user is Japanese and is in Brazil, the ideal is to redirect him to meusite.com/jp , considering that this user will be more comfortable with his native language.
$lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
header("Location: http://www.meusite.com/$lang" ) ;
