Find out the user's city by ip

How to determine which city a site user is located in using php or js (html5 geolocation do not offer!).

You need to know the city, knowing only ip the user, and also so that you can use it for COMMERCIAL purposes and the city name is displayed in RUSSIAN letters (because there are many services, but they have the names of cities displayed in English).
