    Hi,

    I am testing Polylang and I selected the “Detect browser language” option, but when I go to the homepage, it always redirect to the last languages used, not to English, which is my browser’s language.

    Is this a common bug?

    Permalinks structure: Post name.
    Not using static page as homepage.
    Got 3 languages set (En, FR, It).

    I cannot provide an URL, as my theme is in test but can provide access by IP, if needed.

    Thanks.

    I found this other topic addressing the same issue:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-polylang-browser-detection?replies=2

    So, in reality, the plugin behaviour is set more to detect “the last used language ” more than “detecting the browser language” (which it does only for the first time).

    I think this is not very convenient: one could have switched language for some reason, but still got the browser set in the other language. On the other hand I understand that the idea behind is that someone may have a browser in a given language but if he/she was reading something in that language on your site, than the site will assume that this is your language, right?

    Mmm… is there a way to choose the behaviour, or to implement such an option in a feature release?
