How Browser Language Detection Works in FrameLoc
FrameLoc includes an automatic browser language detection system that improves the user experience by serving the right language without requiring any manual selection from the visitor.
How Detection Works
When a visitor lands on your Framer site, FrameLoc automatically reads the default language configured in their browser. It then checks whether that language is available in the list of languages you have added to your FramerLoc project. If there is a match, the site immediately switches to that language — no click required, no language selector interaction needed.
When the Language Is Not Available
If the visitor's browser language is not in your FrameLoc language list, the site simply falls back to the default language you configured in the plugin. The language selector remains visible so the visitor can still manually switch to any available language at any time.
Why This Matters
This behavior means your multilingual Framer site feels native and seamless for international visitors from the moment they arrive. A French-speaking user with a French browser will instantly see the French version of your site, while a visitor using a language you have not added will always see a clean fallback rather than a broken experience. No extra configuration is required — this detection runs automatically on every page where FramerLoc's translation engine has been applied.
