Using a user's IP address to tell you where they are is NOT a good idea. The proxy will fool you too often.
For accessibility and language issues I would use a graphical map approach just like Jack suggested. This way even if the language is different, the user still knows where their country is on a map and will be able to select it. You can tie into Google's API...this is an old file I found (http://www.nearby.org.uk/coords/countries.csv), but you can see how you can use the coordinates to create polygons to outline countries. -Jake . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
