# How to Override Geolocation Redirection When a User Chooses the Main Language

## Introduction
The **Smart Geolocation Redirects** app automatically redirects visitors based on their location. However, there may be times when you want users to **stay on your main site**, regardless of their geolocation. This guide explains how to bypass automatic redirection and allow users to browse your main language site.

## **How to Bypass Geolocation Redirection**
You can provide visitors with a special URL that disables geolocation-based redirection, allowing them to remain on your main site.
### **Steps to Override Redirection**
1. Ask visitors to access your website using this URL format:
```
yourwebsite.com?gcrOverride=true
```
2. When users visit the site with this parameter, the app will not redirect them based on location.
3. Visitors can now browse your site in the main language without interruption.
### **Example Usage**
If your website URL is:
```
https://www.example.com
```
Visitors should enter:
```
https://www.example.com?gcrOverride=true
```
This will disable geolocation redirection and allow them to remain on the main site.

## **When to Use This Feature**
* ✅ Users prefer to browse in the main language instead of being redirected.
* ✅ Visitors want to manually select their location without automatic redirection.
* ✅ Testing different regional versions of your website.

## **Important Notes**
* This method works only when the URL includes the override parameter.
* Other visitors who do not use the special link will continue to be redirected.
* The override is active only for the current session; refreshing the page without the parameter may trigger redirection again.
