WebPlexer's Visitor module automatically determines the language and country of a Web site visitor and directs the Web server to deliver the appropriate localized content to the visitor's browser.
Visitor greatly enhances the multilingual Web site visitor's experience by providing an automated and seamless way to serve content in the correct language. With Visitor, Web site publishers can serve all their multilingual content through a single URL. Web site visitors will immediately understand the information they see when they enter a site because it will be instantly presented in their language.
Visitor supports content in all languages and encodings, and controls the selection of browser font automatically. Manual and semi-automatic language selection are built in to the product, so the need for complex CGI scripts or interlinked pages is eliminated. Visitor also provides an enhanced Web server log which gives the site manager a detailed breakdown of country and language for each visitor to the Web site.
Visitor works equally well with static and dynamic multilingual Web sites. It is expressly designed to work with legacy Web sites, so your existing investment in content and structure will be protected.
Visitor also allows you to grow a multilingual Web site incrementally. You can choose how much – or how little – content to translate, while still preserving a seamless interface for the Web site visitor. All aspects of multilingual content navigation and delivery are managed by the software so that a visitor will always be served the most appropriate language, according to what is actually available on the server. The visitor will never see an error message simply because a document is not available in the requested language.
