Hi
I have a multilanguage site because I have to offer different prices depending on users country.

I've used the joomla multilanguage method, not Falang to build the site

I'd like to be able to automatically redirect users from specific languages and countries to the relevant urls, as I don't want them picking and choosing prices.

Can you help me construct .htaccess to do this?

Thanks

David

Hello David,

Joomla automatically tries to detect your browser language and redirects you to the according language.
Users, however, can change the language, there's no "binding".

Sadly you can't do that using an .htaccess file, since you should analyse the language and the IP of the user, then try to detect the country from the IP and finally redirect the user.
You'll need a component to do that, you should take a look at the JED if there's anything that can do redirects based on the country and the language.
