I just hope you're _not_ going to use that info for setting the site
language for your visitors. There is nothing more annoying/useless/
retarded than doing that. Based on IP you can absolutely _not_ say which
languages a user understands!
There are people living in other countries, working there, having the IP
of that country, yet they don't understand a single word of the language
spoken. Visiting an Internet café in China, you get their IP. Do you
understand written Chinese?
Google, IMDb (film titles), Itty-bitty-soft, and, I'm sure, several
others do exactly that. And they make it increasingly difficult to select
the language _you_ want. On IMDb, for instance, I don't think you can
change it, other than by using a proxy.
Plain retarded strategy.
The _correct_ way of doing it, is to use the language the _browser_ is
set to, and if that can't be determined, leave it up to the user to set
the language on the site. Simple solution, and everybody's happy, instead
of forcing me to read language X where I don't want to.
Yup! I'm an opinionated SOB.
