Language is detected according to the browser's language preference settings. User is automatically redirected to preferred language or to a default language

<?php

                            $lang=strtok($HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE,","); //language codes are comma delimited
 while ($lang){

                             if (strstr($lang,"en")){ //if there is "en" in it

                              header ("Location: http://your.domain.com/english/"); 

                              exit;}

                             if (strstr($lang,"es")){
