## Description

WordPress plugin which redirects from the root site of a multisite project to a 
language specific network site.

**Please Note: This plugin doesn’t allow content on the root site! Please read this
description carefully to see if this works for you.**

The decision which language should be used is based in the browser language of the
user which is usually sent as ‘Accept-Language’ header (PHP: $_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE’]).

The plugin provides a configuration page where supported languages, redirect targets
and the default language can be configured.

The plugin should be activated only on the root site. It shouldn’t be active on 
the language specific network site.

The plugin is developed on [Github](https://github.com/bjoerne2/language-redirect).
Feel free to fork the project or create pull requests.

_This plugin was originally developed for [monkkee](http://www.monkkee.com/) and
is inspired by [oncleben31.cc](http://oncleben31.cc)_

Couldnt redirect to another page, only to another site. This should be mentioned
in the main description.

It is perfect tool for auto redirecting. Especially with lincolnphipps’s patch. 
Thanks a lot! Sure it must be set well, but works like a charm.

Great extension to Multilingual Press… Just make sure you read correctly. Don’t 
network activate the plugin. Only activate it at the root blog.
