grzegorzK-16	Hi! My blog is Polish English, with a language switcher. Polish is the default language. Since WPML does not recommend using automatic redirection due to potential interactions with Google indexing, there is only one option left to help users read my blog in English. Namely, a popup that would open only if the browser language is different from Polish. Such a popup would contain a language switcher. Please help me add such a popup. Does WPML have such an option? regards, Grzegorz

grzegorzK-16	Ok, thank you very much for your answer! If WMPL is for translating websites into other languages, I'm not the only person who has this problem. Namely, they would like to be sure that a person visiting a given blog will see that they have a language switcher at their disposal. How do your other clients solve this problem? I will be very grateful for any hint. regards, Grzegorz
