I'm new to HTML, and I want to display a message when JavaScript is disabled. So I put the message inside <noscript> tag, which works fine.
<noscript> Need to enable Javascript. </noscript>
But I want to change this language to Chinese when the browser language is Chinese. I can't use JavaScript because this message only displays when JavaScript is disabled. Is there any way to solve this? Thank you!
When a browser makes an HTTP request, it sends an Accept-Language request HTTP header.
So, for example if you are using PHP, you could use the following to get this header value:
$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]
or
$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET"]
You can use this value to decide on the server-side which language is being used and insert the text in the correct language.
You can use Python in browser with Transcrypt
Download Python from www.python.org
Install Transcrypt from the command prompt by typing python -m pip install transcrypt
Create a new folder hello containing hello.html and hello.py
Go to that new folder and type python -m transcrypt -b -m -n hello.py
In that same new folder start an HTTP server by typing python -m http.server
In your browser, navigate to localhost:8000/hello.html to see the result
print request.META['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']
that's quite easy if I'm getting what you actually want and assuming that you dont change the HTML file, do as below
const userLang = navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage; //1-this detects the browser language
//2-in my case i use en-US, change it to zh-sg or any other language iso for chinese
if(userLang === "en-US"){
//3-i used a nonScript class on <nonscript> tag to chnage the language
document.querySelector(".nonScript").textContent = "Change to chinese language";
}
you can use alert(userLang); to detect your browser language and use the iso u get for the if condition
