No need to detect the country, Anton. Besides, what language do you serve to a Canadian or someone in Luxembourg?
Browsers include an "Accept-Language" field in the response header that tells you the language that the visitor prefers. That's how search engines know not to give you a bunch of references written in Japanese, unless your browser says so.
How you do this depends on what server-side script language you are using. Google "accept-language http header " + "PHP" or whatever.
Cordially, David
