INTRODUCTION

------------

The Smart IP Redirect to Locale (with Cookie) overrides language 

negotiation and redirects users to a language depending on their IP address

based on a country code mapping configuration page.

INSTALLATION

------------

The installation of this module is like other Drupal modules.

 1. Enable the 'Smart IP Redirect to Locale' module along with

    its dependencies (Locale and Smart IP) in 'Extend'. 

   (/admin/modules)

 2. Set up adminstration permissions. (/admin/people/permissions#module-smart_ip_locale_redirect)

RECOMMENDED MODULES

-------------------

 * 	Smart IP MaxMind GeoIP2 Precision web service (sub module of Smart IP)

CONFIGURATION

-------------

 1. Go to Smart IP settings page to select the main Smart IP

    data source. (/admin/config/people/smart_ip)

 2. Go to Smart IP Locale Redirect Settings to map each country code to 

    a site language. (/admin/config/search/smart_ip_locale_redirect)

 3. Specify user agents to be excluded from redirection such as

  Googlebot and bingbot.

 IMPORTANT NOTE

 ---------------

 You will not be able to change the site langcode from browser navigation

  address because the cookie will keep redirecting to the langcode that stored 

  in its value, so you have to either:

 1. Use the language switcher to change the site language.

 2. Or add 'update_hl=LANGCODE' to the path in the browser navigation address.
