IP tells you where the request comes from, that’s it. It doesn’t tell you what language the user speaks. It looks like Google thinks otherwise, and many programmers are blindly repeating it for Google with no idea how do it properly.

It’s not the IP you dumbass, it’s your browser sending a header that says you speak X.
