chongweiC	Hi, Can your plugin auto-switch the page to the specific language based on user's location? For example, if the user IP is from France, then the French version of the page is loaded.

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there. We have this functionality available right now where WPML will redirect the user to the language his browser is set to (as long as that language exists on the site): https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/ If you want users to be redirected based on the country IP (location) they are visiting from, you'd need a "Geolocation" plugin to do that. You can check our list of compatible plugins here: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/geotargeting/ Here you can also find some existing tickets related to the same topic: - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/i-wants-to-auto-translate-according-to-country/ - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/country-based-redirect/ I hope that you will find the information above helpful 🙂 Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei
