Geo-IP "over 18" page - beta test
 

Hi y'all:thumbsup

Please go to http://www.pinaccesscode.com/?w=0&h=...pbp-12263&wp=1

You should automatically see the warning page in the language of the country you are in.

Do you?

Thanks in advance!:thumbsup

Yup it's in english :)

its in Spanish but I am in Australia

dude, your geo-ip banners stopped working a while a go
how about a fix

It's in English, I am in Scotland :(

works here =)

english and i'm in israel

right here...page looks good, we should chat

hit and run ?

works,.... cool

Doesn't work.

Its cool programmed...
nice work man

it's in english and I'm in france, so I guess that's a 'not working' here

I think it's based on browser language too.. shows in Dutch for me :)

Pretty stupid to use GeoIP for language.. use the browser language setting.

EU-Czech Republic, and it's in english :(, don't work :).

dutch here, it works for me

Yes, sorry, the thread title is misleading. We recently changed our algorythms to take the surfer's browser into account.

Hi Darksoul, we recently changed our algorythms to take into account the surfer's browser language. Which banners do you think are not working? We will check them out...

That's what I was just going to say. Always use the easiest tools available to you at the time; Geo-IP is a nice idea, but what's to say that there aren't English people living in Spain? Or some Japanese tourists on holiday in London?

czech republic - doesn't work

oh, that makes sense now
but I'm not sure if surfers are smart enough to change their browser language
and not use the default they've got it shipped with.
I'm gonna collect some data and see.

German - correct, but there are a few spelling mistakes:
sounds very stupid, use "Eintreten"/"Verlassen" instead
Dein is not spelled with a capital D anymore (several occurances)

vielen Dank donborno:thumbsup

broken charecters in turkish iso-8859-1 not good

English for me.

A user's browser language is actually determined by what they download, as well. IE, if you're french, you'll grab the french copy of FF / IE, which will then be set as default to French.

These settings can also be overwritten by your system language settings as well, incidentally, and ALSO, they're weighted settings - weighted differently in Firefox and IE.

Thus, to do it well, you'll need a combination of different browser checks, something to work out the ratios / weights of the language, and then also GeoIP.

Honestly, GeoIP for language selection is a pretty terrible idea. There are so many expats scattered around the world, so many people on VPN, so many people on AOL, etc, that you should rely on system and browser language.

Quick example: I'm in France, and depending who I'm talking to I'll switch the system language to French or English. A smart website knows the difference. To you, I'll be french :D

Engrish here

It is in english but I am in Quebec... should either be french or both.

You might want to make all your warning pages double, english and "whatever' the local language you think should be right.
