[Grails Locale Configuration Plugin] (https://github.com/stokito/grails-locale-configuration-plugin) enhances the handling of Grails localization (i18n).

This plugin is intended to enhance the language support in Grails by detecting your users’ locale and selecting the most appropriate language for them. You can specify a list of supported languages and choose which language to use if a client’s preferred language is not available.

For example, if your site supports only English, Russian and German, you can send users with other locales to the default language (English).

Please add the following repository and dependency to your BuildConfig.groovy:

grails.project.dependency.resolution = {

    repositories {
        ...
        mavenRepo 'http://dl.bintray.com/stokito/maven'
    }

    ...

    plugins {
        ...
        compile 'name.stokito:grails-locale-configuration-plugin:0.3'
    }

}

By default, English and German are defined as supported locales, and English is set as the default locale. If you want to change this, add the following lines to your Config.groovy.

NOTE: The default locale should also be in the list of the supported locales...

name.stokito.smartLocaleResolver.supportedLocales = [Locale.ENGLISH, Locale.GERMAN]
name.stokito.smartLocaleResolver.defaultLocale = Locale.ENGLISH

1. Language Param in the URL (request), e.g. http://www.example.net?lang=en
2. First match of the locales from the HTTP Accept-Language header
3. Default locale (defaultLocale option in Config.groovy)

NOTE: This order is important and cannot be changed. You may want to provide a language selector, so the lang param should have the highest priority.

Take a look into specification for more details

Take a look at the demo to see the plugin in action: [Grails Locale Configuration Plugin demo application] (https://github.com/stokito/grails-locale-configuration-plugin-demo)

NOTE: If you want to test your locales (languages), just add the locales to the Config.groovy as descriped in 'Configuration'.

Run demo, like every other Grails application

grails run-app

Application can be accessed by URL http://localhost:8080/
