How do I change the browser language with Javascript

Question

I want to access the user browser settings and change the browser language, is this possible using Javascript?

If it\'s possible, how can I access this? (sample code

Answer 1

If what you actually want to do is detect the language the user is using, which is what you want to do, because nothing will annoy your visitors more that their browser preferences getting changed, on the server-side, read the Accept-Language HTTP request header that all modern browsers send, it should contain all the info you need. If it is absent, assume the language of your largest audience.

Check out RFC2616 Section 14.4 for more information on Accept-Language and it's use.
