The module is extremely easy to use and configure. It does a great job of detecting and switching to the right store. I had a problem with varnish cache, but support helped me fix it. Recommend
Does the Language Switcher extension provide support to varnish cache?
Yes, it does. To make the module work properly with the varnish cache you need to modify the Varnish Cache configuration file (by default /etc/varnish/default.vcl) on your server and restart varnish. Please add these lines of code to the varnish config file:
if (req.http.cookie !~ "PHPSESSID=" && req.http.User-Agent !~ "bot" && req.http.User-Agent !~ "loader") {
return (pass);
}
With this setting, your store will be displayed without varnish cache during the first visit. You need to do this as the GeoIP detections held on the PHP level, and you need to allow varnish to skip the first visitor's request to make GeoIP detection possible. Check
