Multi Language Site
Hello,
I have been asked to setup a website in a variety of different languages (not programming languages - languages, like English). I was wondering if there is a proper way to do this. Should I merely make copies of the html and translate the text and images? Since I have a couple programmers in the IT department at my disposal, i was hoping to do it in a more sophisticated way. That is, using a database to hold the bits of code and a scripting language to put it all together to create the pages. Someone else suggested we use xml? Does anyone have any idea as to what would be my simplest/fastest/cheapest solution?
Thanks in advance,
fur

I use php for my dual language site.
I have /templates/lang1/ & /templates/lang2/
all the files inside the 2 directories are text files some using html.
Then on my main pages I use
echo temp('/path/to/template.tmpl');'Mika
