Business If You Have Translated Tours Then Make Sure You Have Way Of Changing Language... - GoFuckYourself.com

I live in Spain and I have clicked many paid for links (PPC) and I get a page in Spanish with no way to change it to English...

If you are a big ad buyer you could be losing out on a fair amount of money - An obvious 'change language' link would help a lot.....

There are many millions of people all over Europe who don't live in their home country - It's a simple fix...

That's because the dumb-shits are using geoip to determine language rather than the browser's language acceptance policy sent in its headers to the server when requesting the URL.

Defective *command and control* thinking

this really annoys the shit out of me for years. why use IP when you can detect browser (or OS) language?

worst offender for me is the Samsung store on my phone - which i get in Czech only with no option to change.
