[SOLVED] Get browser language to variable

Hi,

We're trying to add i18n capabilities to our portal and we're looking for a way to find out the user's browser. Since its a major corporation we cannot add the language via javascript in the first request made to the webfocus server.

So, there were a couple of solutions but I'm not sure about them.

One was to hijack the HttpRequest on the servlet and add a new paramenter to the request using HttpRequestWrapper and creating my own new request with the new parameter, but that seems to me as a very obscure workaround to be made.

Is there any simpler and clean way to get the browser's language so that I can set regional specific text depending on the browser language?

Thanks in advance!

Pedro

You might find this post helpful: webserver variables. I believe variable HTTP_USER_AGENT is the one that provides browser info.

Thanks Dan! It works.

FYI, it's HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE that hold the browser's language config.
