[development] new module ideas for localized content

[Sven Decabooter]

It doesn't seem to provide the exact functionality that you want, but it
might be worth taking a look at the Country code module (
http://drupal.org/project/country_code).

> 1. Admin interface to add or delete region and group regions. Much like
> hierarchy taxonomy. So that admin can add Region 'Asia' and sub regions like
> India, China etc.

> belongs. A node can belong to more than one region, however.

> 4. The module should output a block where the user can select the region of
> the website he wants to see. See ibm.com <http://ibm.com> <http://ibm.com>
> for example. There is a region on the header where user can select the
> country/language.

> 5. Logic for content display:
> a. detect the user ip and thereby the location and display that particular
> location's content alone.
> b. If the location is not present in one of the regions set in the website,
> use a default region.
> c. detect the browser language and render that identified region's content
> in that language. Say for example, the region is detected as China but the
> browser language is English, then display chinese region content in English
> language. Adminstrator will take care of all the translation work needed.
