 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to understand how the language detection works, if I have the main
   site at mainsite.com and then I have subdomains for each language like us.mainsite.
   org, fr.mainsite.com, de.mainsite.com, if I land on mainsite.org, is there a 
   way to redirect to fr.mainsite.com if my browser has French as primary language?
   and if I’m in France and I land on uk.mainsite.com will it redirect me to fr.
   mainsite.com?
 * thanks

 * Hi,
 * please have a look at [this post](http://make.multilingualpress.pro/2014/03/language-negotiation-how-our-redirect-feature-works/).
 * Language Negotiation has to be enabled both on the MultilingualPress (Network)
   settings page (this is done by default) and for each site individually (this 
   is not done by default, so you have to edit every site **from which** you would
   like to redirect users to another, _better_ site). Please see through [these slides](http://slides.tfrommen.de/multilingualpress/#/7/1)
   of the talk I gave just two days ago. Navigate with `[SPACE]`.
 * And what do you mean by you added `en_NZ`?
    Did you install the according Core
   WordPress language pack, or did you edit an entry in the Language Manager and
   saved it?
 * Kind regards,
    Thorsten

 * Thanks, those links seem helpful.
 * I meant I added the core language pack, are you saying I should add the locale
   manually to the language manager?

 * also, do I need to use the site relationship feature for the redirection to work?
   
   EDIT: ah yes it seems so. So basically I need to create relationship between 
   all languages
