Display the user's browser language

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needs to configure WPML to display the She Yün website in the user's browser language, defaulting to English unless the browser is set to French or Dutch.
Solution:
We recommend setting up browser language-based redirection. You can configure WPML to automatically display the website in French or Dutch based on the browser settings, with English as the default language when the browser is neither French nor Dutch. For detailed instructions on how to set this up, please visit our documentation on Automatic Redirect Based on Browser Language.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket or visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.

kenG-9	Background of the issue: I am trying to configure WPML to display the She Yün website in the user's browser language. The website is available in English (EN), Dutch (NL), and French (FR). I want the site to default to English if the browser isn't using French or Dutch, but to automatically show the FR and NL versions of the pages if their browser is set to French or Dutch. Symptoms: No specific issue or error message mentioned. Questions: How can I configure WPML to display the website in the user's browser language, defaulting to English if the browser isn't using French or Dutch?
