Trying to set up a Voluum language re-direct rule for "Spanish." Anyone been able to figure out how to do this, I'm not seeing Spanish as an option in Voluum?

I would first run a trickle of traffic so you can confirm 100% which codes you will be getting.
And then use that data to set up your re-direct.

For Spain it will probably be Castilian / Catalan / Basque depending on which region.

For other Spanish speaking countries I’m not sure, so would let the traffic tell you.
You don’t want to set up a rule and then find out all your best traffic is going to waste because everything in your geo is flowing through the ’Unknown’ language, or a language which you did not guess.

Hey man, you can also put a script to detect language on your LP, pass it thru to Voluum, then set your custom rules there

Here's a little bit of code I put together if Voluum isn't doing the trick, I would redirect to the campaign using the following code:

Code:
<?php

$language = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);

header("Location: http://voluumlink.com/?language=$language");

?>
The code detects the browser's language and appends the language accordingly. You could then put a rule on Voluum if custom variable is "es" then redirect to spanish landing page.

Also if you want to post other variables just use the get function and append it to the urls in php.
