Setting a default localization in a website
We are having trouble understanding the best case for UX when it comes to default language/locale on a website
At the moment, the website behave like this:
a predefined list of languages is set - in this case, "en" ,"es" (English and Spanish)
- check browser accepted languages
- if the accepted lanagues contain spanish, set the language to spanish
- if not, set the language to be the first match of the predefined with the accepted languages (and if not found, set as english)
Our problem is - what is the best experience if the user know spanish, but their browser doesn't reflect that?
What is the recommend/best practice way of display many languages (for that user who knows spanish, but the site is in english - to let the user know that the interface is available in spanish (or other languages he/she may know)
At the moment, I have a "Languages" dropdown in the navbar of the site, when dropped-down there is a list of all available languages with each languages written it its own (English in English, Espanol in Spanish, etc).
