...unfortunately I don't have access to the magazine at the moment, so I can't give you any hints to the content right now.
However, I do know that Alstrasoft has a product called "AlstraSoft Geo Redirect Pro", that is based on PHP and MySQL. It'll cost you $50 for a years license and should do the trick.

But its cookie based which is kind of annoying. Can anyone who reads this post try the url above and tell me if it picks up which country you are from? It did not work for a few ppl that I know and I am not 100% sure why, maybe isp based maybe a problem with the cookie.

...they used stuff from MaxMind (www.maxmind.com). They have a bunch of really neat libraries at pretty reasonable prices. Theres even one that will tell you the city, along with country and region/county, and give you an estimation of the citys population...
You should probably check it out.
BTW: I'm not affiliated with, nor do I have any financial ties to MaxMind. Just liked the stuff...

Why don't you simply create multiple index pages like index.html.en and index.html.de and let the webserver do the job automaticly?
Every good browser can be set to your prefered language in the settings and send this information included in the http headers. Than any good server like Apache fetch the correct language file. And you can add .en or .ch ... to every file and create multiple versions.
Why try to use a script if the browser and server has it build in much better. For example my prefered language for websites is english (most times more infos in this language) so if you use a php script you will send me a german version I didn't want
