<p>This plugin would figure out a user location (country and city, but have in mind that the city information is only 60% reliable) by matching his IP address to an IP addresses database. The information would then be stored in a cookie and in a global variable, to be used by other plugins or themes. This happens quietly in the background without the user seeing anything.</p>
<p>Furthermore, for sites using qTranslate X for multilanguage, it can set the language of the site upon the user’s first visit, using country-based rules that you set up in the plugin options. Normally qTranslate X offers automatic setting of language based on the browser language, but in many countries browser localisation is not as popular and a lot of people use english language browsers, so this method is not reliable and some people would prefer to set the language based on the user’s country.</p>
<p>This plugin does not do much on its own (except for the integration with qTranslate) – it provides valuable data to be integrated with other code on your website. The idea behind it is to have a fast, simple and reliable tool for getting location, which could be used on a per-need basis. The plugin loads no scripts and no stylesheets and uses class autoloading to load its code only when it’s actually needed.</p>
<p>It also does its best to recognize robots, crawlers and content fetchers and only run for regular site visitors.</p>
<p>Future verions will also provide a tool for precise geolocation, using the user’s GPS and WiFi data (html5 geolocation).</p>
