CountryHawk may be good (or bad...) but it's certainly far from 100%
accurate. Just looking at the docs real quick, it uses a database of
ip:country mappings that has to be updated regularly. Even if they put
out a new version every day, I seriously doubt they can keep track of
all 4 billion+ possi

Is there a CF tag that will do that for me?

Easiest is to use the browser locale setting --
cgi.http_accrept_language. You can set this for your browser in tools >
