If the user's browser is set up properly, you can use
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']to find out which languages they prefer to use. -

when I check $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] on Chrome it gives: "en-GB,en;q=0.8" any idea what "q=0.8" means?
My logic is impeccable; my arithmetic lets me down.
It means Microsoft estimates your command of the English language is 80%, which is pretty good actually. More here[^] :)

Microsoft? Surely it must be Google Chrome who made the estimate? ...and how does it (dare it!) make that estimate?!?

You never have tried Google Translate, have you? Google knows zilch about languages. :-D

No, you would normally put anything you need to use on multiple pages into an include file, then load it on every page using
include,require,include_onceorrequire_once. ... unless you are using a framework, then there should be somewhere already that you can put code to execute on each request - but that will depend on the framework. Or you could possibly skip checking it in PHP at all, and use a .htaccess file to redirect to a different path depending on the Accept-Language header. -

You can redirect using user's timezone also..
