## Description

IP2Location Hello Greeting plugin displays the **Hello** greeting message in visitor’s
native language based on visitor’s origin country.

Greet your visitors from different countries with different languages as this plugin
will instantly detect the country and switch language based on visitors IP address

This plugin support Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Bengali, 
Portuguese, Malay, French, German, Urdu, Japanese, Persian, Italian, Korean, Turkish,
Vietnamese and Polish languages for display, and in case the translation is not 
available for a particular language, it will be substituted with English display.

This plugin supports both the **shortcode** and **widget** display. In case of any
missing language that you would like to see in this plugin, please feel free to 
send us a request at support@ip2location.com. We will be happy to include this into
the plugin.
