Use browsers language settings to set language (rlmp_language_detection)

I try to automaticly set the language in my typo3 6.2 One-Tree Page.

To my setup, I use RealURL to add the langauge to the URL, I use the default Lparameter. I DON'T use ISO codes for the languages, but I use static_info_tables to set the ISO Code. For the language switch I try to use the extention rlmp_language_detection but it does not work.

My language config (typo3name, Official ISO Code - selected with static_info_tables, ID - used for Lparameter)

My Typoscript for the plugin:

plugin.tx_rlmplanguagedetection_pi1 {
   useOneTreeMethod = 1
   defaultLang = en
}

My Typoscript for langauges:

config {
sys_language_uid = 0
language = en
locale_all = en-eu
}

[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
config {
sys_language_uid = 1
language = en
locale_all = en-us
}
[global]

[globalVar = GP:L = 2]
config {
sys_language_uid = 2
language = en
locale_all = en-jp
}
[global]

[globalVar = GP:L = 3]
config {
sys_language_uid = 3
language = jp
locale_all = jp-jp
}
[global]

To test it I set my first langauge to japanese and when I request the rootpage this is in my request-header:

Accept-Language:ja,de-DE;q=0.8,de;q=0.6,en-US;q=0.4,en;q=0.2

http://mybrowserinfo.com/ say:

Language:Japanese
System Language:Not detectable with this browser
User Language:de

But no L Parameter is set at all, so I get the default language.

I've had same problems: How i made it works step by step:

1 Step: install static_info_tables be careful it should be in DB utf-8 charsetin latin1 (in my case) don't work

2 Step: istall rlmp_language_detection

3 Step: check if on you server installed php-geoip php module, if not install Ext: ml_geoip or any way install it.

4 Step include static templates include static templates in your TS template

5 Step

enter image description hereenter image description here

Pls don't forget to choose ISO code of toy lang in base line pages tree

6 Step TS settings - add this after all lang configuration

plugin.tx_rlmplanguagedetection_pi1 {
   # this mean that you hav ejust one tree pages for all lang, for multi trees look manual
   useOneTreeMethod = 1 

   #important - this your website sys_language default
   defaultLang = ru 

   # use -1 when you wont to test redirect, after change to 0
   cookieLifetime = -1 

   # you defind which method will be used for redirect browser or ip, better testing just with one
   testOrder = browser,ip

  # we can config aliases like "code = lang1, lang2"
  languageAliases >
  languageAliases {
    ua = uk,en
    en = en
    ru = ru,en
  }

  #we can country codes dependencies "country code = lang"
  countryCodeToLanguageCode >
  countryCodeToLanguageCode {
    ua = uk
    us = en
    gb = en
    nz = en
    au = en
    ie = en
    ca = en
    by = ru
  }

  #this just limit input params array
  limitToLanguages = ru,uk,en 

}

# ok just after all we include ext to page, on ts begining you shoud to have "page = PAGE" just check
page.1007 = < plugin.tx_rlmplanguagedetection_pi1

I'd suggest using .htaccess to redirect the browser acceptance language. This saves you loading up the whole TYPO3 instance just to do a redirect.

Depending on weather you use realurl it would look something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^en-us [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /en-us/ [L,R=307]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^ja [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /jp/ [L,R=307]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^en-gb [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /en-eu/ [L,R=307]

I don't know how to target en-jp though.

On our websites we use the 307 as status code, so the browser will always look for the initial page (in case the structure changes), also it doesn't affect SEO.
