It is done by a rewrite rule based on the user-agent within the configuration of your Webserver.

Not quite sure how you will be able to do it?
I would connect to my vps thru SSH and edit the conf files of my nginx-Webserver.
I would add something close to this:
server {
server_name domain.com;
listen 80;
#----- redirect to mobile check (starts) -----#
set $mobile_rewrite do_not_perform;
# this regex string is actually much longer to match more mobile devices
if ($http_user_agent ~* "|android|ip(ad|hone|od)|kindle") {
set $mobile_rewrite perform;
}
if ($mobile_rewrite = perform) {
rewrite ^ http://mobile.domain.com$request_uri? redirect;
break;
}
#----- redirect to mobile check (ends) -----#
include /etc/nginx/aa-common.conf;
}

This php script can do that, just add a few line of codes to redirect user to destination.

So you have different languages and for each a own mobile site? To be honest sound more a problem of website design and not serverconfig. But In the config you could use both:
Step 1 check Geo DNS and step 2 check for useragent. Rewrite to country specific mobile or desktop url.
