I just finished the beta version of my page which will detect the language, country, browser, and OS of the visitor. I'd appreciate very much if some people tested it out and let me know if it's correctly detecting your info. Thanks so much!

I find this a bit intrusive. You really dont need this type of thing if you want your site to be sucessfull. If you are going to have it try putting it in a small area in the main part of your site.

works fine for me

No joy on the country detection. I'm also in the USA.

I know all this information isn't necessary, but I wanted to see if I could get it to work. The main things that will be important are language and browser version. Country will also be slightly important because some countries with the same language have different spellings, vocabulary, and other cultural differences. OS probably will never be important, as I think the same browser should display a page identically no matter what OS it is run on. Could be slight differences, but I'm not aware of any.

It left a blank spot for my browser . I am using Firefox. However it detected that I'm in the U.S. and i see alot of peoples wouldn't detect that.
