Could y'all test a site for me please
 
We've got this site that works geo-targeted and I want to know if everything works ok.

Could you please go to http://www.thisislive.com , click around a little bit and tell me what language(s) you get standard, if you see any serious errors, etc.

I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me where you're located and what language you're getting on that site.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Lost Vegas reporting in..


*psssst*..need any camhoes?

rachelo 2007-01-19 08:20 AM

Hey Fonz,

Looks good here, default was Belgium, clicked US and all was good.

Fonz 2007-01-19 08:22 AM

Thanx so far, docholly and DD, in what language/country did the site came up before you picked a country out of the drop down list?

johnnybg 2007-01-19 08:35 AM

I'm from Serbia and my default page was telling me to "Toevoegen aan favorieten"... not exactly sure which language is that.

Useless 2007-01-19 08:42 AM

Here in Dirty Undies, NY - it's defaulting to Belgie and the language is Dutch.

Maybe your geo-targetting knows where I'd rather be. ;)

zack2004 2007-01-19 09:12 AM

Came up as Belgie. When I switched to USA, the right sidebar switched and the rest of the site went blank.

sue-fl 2007-01-19 09:30 AM

Hey Fonz! When I went to the site it was in Belarus. I clicked USA from the drop down box and it switched quickly for me. Good luck |thumb

Living under the tyranny of the ruling Bush family.

Using Safari under that OS made by that fruity computer company.

Not sure what language this is but I'm pretty sure it isn't English but then again I haven't had my morning espresso yet.
"Betalen via credit card

Despite the dropdown menu already saying USA I was able to get English by choosing United States from it.

KG Gary 2007-01-19 09:39 AM

Nice site!
Default was Belgium, when I clicked UK I got English. Everything else I clicked from then on was in English.
:)

Simon 2007-01-19 09:54 AM

South Florida, USA, using Safari and Firefox browsers on Mac OS X...

"Land:" says U.S.A. when I first get there, but on the right side "nl" is the selected language. The page seems to have a mix of language, mostly not English ("Toevoegen aan favorieten Er zijn 49 camgirls online!! Een vraag? Contacteer ons."), but the footer with copyright, 2257 info, etc. is in English. Same things when I clicked through to some cam pages and got the login page.

Once I clicked "en" once for language everything was in English no matter what page I visited.

T Pat 2007-01-19 09:58 AM

Default Belgium clicked English and everything looks ok in Arizona

MrYum 2007-01-19 10:00 AM

Nice site Fonz |thumb

Got Belgie here in So. Florida...

Selected USA and all went to english :)

Win XP Pro / FF 2.0.0.1

emmanuelle 2007-01-19 10:47 AM

Calling from Montreal, Canada- Where we are often geo targeted to French language sites (and 800#'s)

Belgie is the default, with Toevoegen aan favorieten

Header & footer are English, right column is a mix of English and something Netherlandian :D

Windoze XP, IE 7

Nice looking site!

cd34 2007-01-19 11:33 AM

There is an accept-language header in the http requests of browsers which gives their language preferences. You could also use that to set the preliminary pageview to more closely match the surfer.

Mine came up in Belgie, when I set it to United States, worked like a champ.

Isn't i18n fun? :)

Jim 2007-01-19 11:48 AM

I got Belgium too, Fonz.

Aquarius 2007-01-19 12:08 PM

I get it in English when I pick Mexico.

Fonz 2007-01-19 01:04 PM

Ok, so far Mexico is the only country the geo target thing works like it should, seems we (me and the guys I work with) have got a lot of work to do.

Sparky, I'll look into that stuff :)

Thanx everybody |thumb

And to think the default language for Mexico is set to English since we don't have spanish (yet) :D

Hmmm... you're right about that. It was the same guy who hacked the site for the Belgian army last week. The techs are on it.
