## Description

This plugin is a Zanto addon that detects the user country and shows his country
flag next to the available languages.
 You can also redirect visitors based on visitor
country if user locale translation exists. E.g if you have a language with locale
code en_US, the code can be devided into the language part ‘en’ and the geographical
part ‘US’. This plugin has an option to redirect according to the geographical parts
of the locale codes of the languages served on your ZANTO translated site.

#### How usefull is this?

Since flags do not equate to language and several countries share the same national
language but different flags, the solution is to
 show the country flag of the user
next to the languages. A good example can be seen with the popular [pay pal](http://paypal.com)
website.
