I have a website (Flash) localized into a dozen of languages and I want to auto-define a default value depending on the user’s browser settings in order to minimize the steps to access the content.
FYI, I cannot use server scripts due to proxy restrictions, so I guess JavaScript or ActionScript would be appropriate to solve the problem.
Questions:
-
What would be the best method to ‘guess’ the user’s locale?
-
Are there any existing simple classes/functions that could help me out (no complex localization bundles)? Especially to reduce all possible languages to a smaller number (the translations I have) in a smart way.
-
To which point can I trust such a solution?
-
Any other workarounds or suggestions?
