change language by visitor IP

I can detect the visitor's country code by using the latest geoip.dat file.

How can I change the public store's language by using this information for the visitor?

Here is my solution to my own problem, may be someone else needs it also:

just add this code to global.asax.cs file

protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var _workContext = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<IWorkContext>();
            var _webHelper = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<IWebHelper>();
            var _languageService = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<ILanguageService>();

            Nop.Services.Directory.GeoCountryLookup geo = new Nop.Services.Directory.GeoCountryLookup(_webHelper);
            string country = geo.LookupCountryCode(Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
            if (country.Equals("TR"))
            {
                var language = _languageService.GetLanguageById(0);
                _workContext.WorkingLanguage = language;
            }
            else
            {
                var language = _languageService.GetLanguageById(1);
                _workContext.WorkingLanguage = language;
            }
        }

I would personally do it in CustomerService::InsertGuestCustomer() in Libraries\Nop.Services\Customers\CustomerService.cs. And based on the country I would specify the correct language for the new guest customer being created.

If you do it in Session_Start(), your logic will also be applied on logged-in users whose language preferences may not coincide with your logic.

In InsertGuestCustomer():

            var customer = new Customer()
            {
                CustomerGuid = Guid.NewGuid(),
                Active = true,
                CreatedOnUtc = DateTime.UtcNow,
                LastActivityDateUtc = DateTime.UtcNow,
// Specify the language based on the client IP:
                Language = ................. // Insert your logic here
            };

Thanks for the info. I'm new to nopcommerce and don't know the architect well for now.

For a quick hack, I put

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(_workContext.CurrentCustomer.Username))

control to my code to check if the session user is guest. I'll study that portion of the code you show later.

Thanks again..

I need to do this through plugin. I dont want to change anything into nopCommerce code. so how can i do this?

Hi,

once you create the plugin, override the method InsertGuestCustomer().

I think it will work.

Thanks
