Stop Guessing User Language with IP Geolocation!

Many websites use IP geolocation to determine the language to display, but this is a flawed and unreliable method. IP addresses only tell you the origin of the request, not the user's language preference. VPNs, travel, and multilingual countries all lead to errors. The browser's `Accept-Language` header provides accurate user language preferences. This is a superior, free, and readily available solution. Respect user preferences, use the `Accept-Language` header, and allow users to change language settings for a better experience.
