The IP addresses are a location-less protocol and so there is no sure way of finding out what country a user is from. The only you can maybe do it is to do a dns lookup on the ip address and get the country code from the domain but that is not very reliable.

You can read out the HTTP Header "Accept Language". This field has a list of language codes prefered as a response to the request.

See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html.

Example:

Accept-Language: da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7

would mean: "I prefer Danish, but will accept British English and other types of English."

Or you could just get them to fill out a form.
