Set default language

  • Hello there,
    is there a way to set a selected language as default meaning when the user returns website defaults to the saved preference?
    Ex. on site load, a pop up is displayed with a language choice and a checkbox to save as default language (in a cookie I imagine). Subsequent visits revert back to saved language.

    Thanks

    Hi
    Maybe it’s what you are looking for: if you activate the ‘Detect browser language’ option, you visitor will be redirected to the homepage in its last browsed language, see: https://polylang.pro/doc/detect-the-browser-preferred-language/

    @chrystl: thank for responding. Unfortunately it’s not quite what I’m inquiring about. In fact, this option is already activated on my setup. The issue with this is that many users have English OS’s but are primarily other language speakers. In my case, I’m only dealing with 2 language, English and French. I want the option for my site visitors to select their preferred language on first site visit and that selection is saved for subsequent visits (I believe that’s achieved with cookies, not certain on implementation)

    I hope this explains things a bit better

    Thanks
