language-targeting - Instant Popup Builder

Language Targeting

Trigger and display popups based on your visitor’s browser or device language — independent of their physical location. A user in the United States with their browser set to Arabic, or a German speaker in Japan, will see the popup you’ve configured for their language. Perfect for reaching multilingual audiences without relying on IP-based geo-targeting.

Key Features

Browser language detection via navigator.language & navigator.languages

Accept-Language HTTP header parsing with quality-factor priority

WordPress user locale targeting for logged-in users

Multi-language rules — trigger for Spanish AND Portuguese speakers

Exclude specific languages from seeing a popup

Language variant support (e.g., pt-BR vs pt-PT, en-US vs en-GB)

WPML / Polylang / TranslatePress compatibility

Use Cases

1

Show an Arabic welcome popup to Arabic-speaking visitors in any country

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Language Targeting work with the free core plugin?

Yes, Language Targeting requires the free Instant Popup Builder core plugin (v1.1.5 or higher) to be installed and activated.

Will I receive updates?

Yes, all licenses include 1 year of automatic updates and priority support. You can renew annually at a discounted rate.

Can I use this on a staging site?

Yes, staging and localhost environments do not count toward your site activation limit.

Is there a refund policy?

We offer a 14-day refund policy if the product does not work as advertised and our support team is unable to resolve the issue.

How is the visitor's language detected?

The add-on reads the browser’s navigator.language and navigator.languages properties, plus the Accept-Language HTTP header. These reflect the language the user has set on their browser or device — for example, a user in the US with their device set to Arabic will be detected as an Arabic speaker.

Does this work with multilingual plugins?

Yes! Language Targeting is fully compatible with WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress. You can also target based on the WordPress user locale for logged-in users.

How is this different from Geo Targeting?

Geo Targeting uses IP-based location detection (country/city). Language Targeting detects the visitor’s browser/device language preference. A Spanish speaker living in the United States would be reached by Language Targeting but NOT by a Spain geo-rule — they’re two completely independent signals.

Can I target language variants like Brazilian Portuguese?

Yes! You can target broad languages (e.g., all Portuguese speakers) or specific variants (e.g., pt-BR for Brazilian Portuguese vs pt-PT for European Portuguese).
