Many languages?

[NevG]

Hi gang

does anyone know the easiest method of converting a web page content into several different languages?

I am contemplating going down the DLL' and database route unless I can find a better suggestion.

I dont really want to have a page for each language as this will amount to far too many pages.

Thanks for any help

What I have done is have a link on the first page. Pass thru a query string a value that represents that language...set that to a session variable. If language is english, grab a text file that has all data in english...if german, grab that one, etc. there will be many if/else statements depending on the number of languages...or you can store the data in a db..i choose text files because they don't need to put a strain (if there will be one) on a database... hope that helps.

nevg,

I should add something to my previous suggestion:
set up an array of languages instead of going thru a series of if/elses..loop thru the array. if the query string value matches one of the array elements, then set session variable that way. its less code and will give the same results.
