How SEATEXT Automatically Detects Visitor Language and Translates Your Site

Direct answer

SEATEXT automatically detects the language of every visitor and instantly translates the page into that language without any user interaction.

How the detection works

1. One‑minute snippet install: Add a small JavaScript snippet to your site’s header. The snippet runs on every page load.
2. Browser language check: The script reads the browser’s Accept‑Language header and the visitor’s IP‑based locale to infer the preferred language.
3. Instant translation: Once the language is identified, SEATEXT pulls the appropriate AI‑generated translation from its cloud cache and renders it in under a few milliseconds.
4. Background updates: New content (posts, products, updates) is automatically sent to SEATEXT’s translation engine, so future visitors see the latest version in their language.

Common mistake to avoid

Relying on a manual language selector after installing SEATEXT defeats the purpose of automatic detection. Keep the selector hidden or disabled so the AI can serve the correct language without user input.

Verify it’s working

• Open your site in a browser with a different language setting (e.g., change Chrome’s language to French).
• Refresh the page; you should see the content rendered in French within seconds.
• Check the page source for the SEATEXT snippet and confirm the lang attribute on the html tag matches the detected language.
