Hi there

We're building up an international webshop. Our base country is "Switzerland" where we speak 3 official languages.

May I kindly ask you to help us how to conceptually build this with WPML the best way? Ideally we would like to use the language switch as a switch to select each country. In case Switzerland is selected, we would like to offer all languages we speak in our country: German, French, Italian.

Is this possible?

Many thanks

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The country/IP based automatic redirection is something that is not available as a built-in feature. However, there are third-party WPML-compatible plugins available, which can help you achieve this:

Most commonly used feature to show the language based on the user's browser's language is something that can be configured from the WPML's language settings:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.

regards,
Waqar
