I want to redirect by browserlanguage detection but this is not working. I Followed the instructions on your site for this.

hidden link
Despite of changing my browserlanguage it is still going to the dutch language instead of the english.

Hello there

Thank you for contacting us. I am happy to help you.

I have tested your site and it is working as expected.

Visit to hidden link and it redirect to hidden link since my browser has ENG language.

Here is also a screencast :

hidden link

Have also in your mind :

Are you using a new session?

Remember that WPML will only redirect once. You need to clear all cookies or start an incognito browser (which always has a fresh history). This starts a clean session and simulates a new visitor.

From : https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/#debugging-browser-language-redirection

I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you need any further assistance. I'll gladly help you. 🙂

Regards,
Andreas
