Many thanks for the feedback. We'll add the language autodetection for the interface and results this week. There is no profiling taking place. The country is just to select what index you would like results from - we'll try to make the UI better.

This is still beta, so please keep on using it and we'd love to hear more feedback [beta@cliqz.com].



I second the need to do some form of detection for language. My browser tells webpages I want results in english (Accept-language header), and this can be safely used to detect what is most appropriate initially.

If not that, then at least IP, considering I’m sitting in the US.


No, please do not use IP addresses to infer UI language preference. Google does that and it a right royal pain in the arse. Every time I visit a different country Blogger's log in page is in a different language ignoring the carefully specified browser settings giving me Polish when I am in Poland, Norwegian when I am in Norway, etc.


Yep, the The Accept-language header seems the most reasonable to go for. Will try to get it out as early as possible.


Please not IP. I hate it when stupid sites insist on switching to Latvian or whatever because that's my current VPN endpoint.


Thank you for your feedback. We have just implemented auto language detection for the UI based on your browser language.
