Hi, I'm very new to silverstripe.

I have searched around but can't find an explanation or I just don't get it.

How would one set this up? is it in the config?
I have inherited a site... two different languages working (v2.4) and change fine with a nav.
How would I set it up to use the visitors IP to set the language automatically?
Also whats the best way to test it by yourself? just set it to the default to a region you're not in I imagine?
or could someone point me to a "how to"?

Cheers.

Can anybody please help me with this?
I'm new to Silverstripe and not sure which is the best way to do it.

Can you set if statements in the config to set the locale?

Have I missed something very basic and is this a really stupid question?
Sorry if so.
Any help would obviously be appreciated.
