I have someone who wants me to do a project for them a little bit out of my comfort zone. How would i go about the following:

If from England pull in the English version of a page.
If from Spain pull in the Spanish version of a page.

and so on.

Many thanks

    I like the idea of using the MaxMind API. Having used it for geo in the past, it's really easy to work with and very consistent. I'd definitely take that route, but still let the user click a flag icon for theirs language in case MaxMind gets it wrong.

    Geo targeting with redirection to local content. If there isn't a match just show the home page.

    If you don't want to go through the trouble of setting up and mainting Maxmind, cloudflare offers a free country level detection.

    However perhaps users would prefer to switch it via their country flag/abbreviation in the header.

    IP Address Geolocation to Identify Website Visitor's Geographical Location may also be another choices for geolocation solution implementation to display different languages of different IP address.

    If you do not want to host the geo database, perhaps, you can get the web service at FraudLabs Credit Card Fraud Detection Web Service

    Yeah... basically just grab the IP and show content accordingly. Not that hard of a task. :p

    Check out the above URL for an example. There was also aWSO last summer that had a plug in for Wordpress that would do this
