 * I’m searching for a plugin which will detect language by ip for certain country.
   For all other countries it will be english by default. If you use something similar
   please give a link.

 * I’m sorry no one has made any suggestions. I’m afraid I’m no help in that respect
   either. I just wanted to warn you that IP recognition can be unreliable and within
   any language region, not all users will be comfortable with that language. IMO,
   it’s better to let the site be in its default language and give users the option
   to manually switch to another language. Country flags that can be clicked to 
   change languages are a good option that require no foreign language skills and
   virtually everyone understands their purpose.
 * I say all of this because I’ve had first hand experience. I’ve traveled in several
   different language regions and have encountered automatic language by IP detection
   which has often been very frustrating because the sites were often unclear on
   how to switch to English, I was often required to understand the local language
   at least a little in order to navigate to the proper setting.
 * If you feel strongly about IP recognition, at least make it clear how to manually
   switch to another language without requiring any foreign language skills.
 * I hope you are able to find what you are looking for.
