Website does not detect user language

The user should receive a localised page when connecting to thorium.edrlab.org if it exists.

According to the internet "This is something that Hugo cannot do. All that Hugo does is generate static HTML (and optionally other file types). Hugo isn’t really a server (although we do have the hugo server command, but that’s primarily for local development).

You’ll likely need to use server-side software (perhaps Apache?) or client-side code (JavaScript) to determine the language of the browser, and whether that visitor should be directed to the English or French website."

I was thinking about using

client-side` code (JavaScript)

I'm using raw HTML fragments in another Hugo project, it is possible to insert raw CSS and raw JavaScript in the web page templates. So the Thorium doc website could read query params via JS and detect language, version, etc. A noscript tag could be used to inject a static link to help the user navigate to the correct language, and query params could be forwarded to the JS redirects, and possible to any hyperlinks in the page too (dynamic href replacement)
