Google is your friend, but let me just post the result of the 30 seconds of entering the right keywords in a search engine gave me.

I’m preparing a new site web, could you suggest me what technology use to:

  • render a diferent page depending of the browser ex: iPhone/iPag/ Android phone/ ecc ecc

It’s easy to figure out for yourself how to detect Android and the likes.

  • have a site web multi language

  • select the language using geoip or the language of the browser?

Don’t bother with geoip or any other “educated guesses”. I for one live in Belgium and my OS and browser are set to English. Not only is it really annoying to have a website decide that I do not want the English version, but usually it takes me to a French version even though I’m Flemish and thus speak Dutch.

good to use Ruby on Rails...and if you want to render different page..then use the application controller and in it use a before filter to identify the request object and finally get the browser from the request
