[Resolved] Display the site in the language of the country where the user is located

Hi there.

The only redirection WPML offers is related to the browser's language (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language), not Geolocation, so you can't redirect users based on their current location.

Example of how browser-language redirection works: Chrome is set to English, the visitor is redirected to the English version of the website.

To redirect based on location, you would need a Geolocation plugin for that.

You can check our list of compatible plugins here:

Here you can also find some existing tickets related to the same topic:

- https://wpml.org/forums/topic/country-based-redirect/

I hope that you will find the information above helpful 🙂

Kind regards,

Welcome back!

We have prepared some documentation for that topic here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/

But it is not much that we can do on situations like this. This has to be dealt with the hosting provider so that the domain/subdomain is set up correctly as explained in our documentation.

Not sure if it is helpful but the information in the existing ticket below might be a good guide along the way:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/using-multiple-domains-the-added-on-domains-keep-redirecting-to-the-main-domain/

Also, please note that per our Support Policy, we can handle only one issue per ticket.

Continuing with one issue per ticket helps not only supporters to focus on one issue at once, but also enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster.

So, practically, we can handle only one issue/request per ticket.

I hope that you will find this information helpful. 🙂

Hi there.

Sometimes, that "Not valid" red notice is a false-positive message.

You can try to save it as is and see if it works on the front-end.

If it doesn't work, I recommend that you share the documentation with the hosting company.

Our Support Policy doesn't allow us to access customer's hosting panel and there's little that we can do in situations like this related to the domain setup.

We prepared the documentation and in case the hosting company can't help, I would recommend hiring a developer or a WPML contractor (https://wpml.org/contractors/) that can implement this correctly.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.
