Open language depending on browser setting

[bonheddwr]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help.

I have a bilingual website in English and Welsh (I translated the Welsh version myself). The code for English is 'en' and Welsh (Cymraeg) is 'cy'.

I have set the English language as 'default' in admin, and have also got English 1st order wise, but what I want to happen is for th Welsh language version to show automatically if somone is using a Welsh language browser. Firefox and IE are available in Welsh, and some others.

I use a Welsh language browser, and the Welsh version of other sites do open when I visit, without me needing to do anything (for example Google), but unfortunately the same is not true for our Zen Cart site (1.3.7).

The English language ALWAYS opens, it doesn't matter what the browser settings are, and the user has to click on the change language link in the sidebar.

Is there a way of having the Welsh language version to open automatically, if the user is using a Welsh language browser, and for the English language browser to open if the user is using a web browser in any other language?

Thank you very much for the above info 'DrByte'. I hadn't noticed that little switch! I've changed from 'Default' to 'Browser' but for some reason it doesn'tseem to make any difference.

I've got a computer running Windows XP with Welsh language Pack (all interface is in Welsh) and am using the Welsh language version of Firefox, but the English version of my site still shows.

I've checked under Tools>Options>Advanced>Languages and in the list I have:

Welsh [cy]
[cy-GB]
[en-GB]
English [en]

Shouldn't the Welsh version appear therefore?

I've just used 'cy' as the Welsh language version and 'en' for English, not 'cy-GB' or en-GB' i.e. the language selection for homepage is as follows:

http://www.cadwyngifts.com/?language=en
http://www.cadwyngifts.com/?language=cy

You may need to add your language code to the language class /includes/classes/languages.php

Many thanks. I accessed that file, and you ar right, the Welsh language is not included. I tried to follow the strings for other languages and added the following, but after doing so the website wouldn'tload, and therefore I've pulled them out:

    'cy' => array('cy|welsh', 'welsh', 'cy'));
    'cy-gb' => array('cy[-_]gb|great britain welsh', 'greatbritain_welsh', 'cy-GB'), 

This is the content of the file by the way, I would be very grateful if anybody could advise me on where I am going wrong.
