I need to create a website that automatically detect visitor's country so that the language will appear as visitor's language.
How to automatically select language for my site?

No need to detect the country, Anton. Besides, what language do you serve to a Canadian or someone in Luxembourg?
Browsers include an "Accept-Language" field in the response header that tells you the language that the visitor prefers. That's how search engines know not to give you a bunch of references written in Japanese, unless your browser says so.
How you do this depends on what server-side script language you are using. Google "accept-language http header " + "PHP" or whatever.
Cordially, David
