&lt;p&gt;Here's a simple receipt on Doing It Right: return the site in the default language - usually English. Put a link to change to the guessed language and one to go to a language menu on the page; or put a language select dropdown on the page, and default it to the guessed language.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That way, the viewer's own language is just one click away if it's guessed correctly and they want it.&lt;/p&gt;
