Problem: Language redirection

Solution: The client was looking for an option to redirect to language directory when *Use directory for default language* option is selected for WPML>>Languages>>Language URL format>>Different languages in directories. you may try this BUT please know it's out of the scope of our support and can't be supported.

1. In WPML -> Languages :
- Choose 'Different languages in directories'
- Enable 'Use directory for default language'
- Select 'HTML file'
- Insert 'lang.php' inside the text field below

2. In your WordPress installation root directory, the same where you can find your wp-config.php file:
- add a new file and name it 'lang.php'
- edit this file with a text editor and insert the following code (change the URL according to your preferred default language). The following code will help him to redirect according to the browser language.

<?php
   
if(substr( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2 ) == 'de' ) {  
     header( 'Location: https://yoursite.com/de/' );  
}else if( substr( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2 ) == 'fr' ) {  
     header( 'Location: https://yoursite.com/fr/' ); 
}else {
     header( 'Location:  https://yoursite.com/en/' );
}
   
?>
