I am starting from scratch. what would be the easiest way? I will have navigator, announcements, slade, text in the website
 
1.) what is the other language going to be? you need to know in order to use the correct encoding for both your content files and your script session, e.g. utf-8 / 65001

2.) you could have all your content stored in language subfolders as text or html snippets which are then dynamically loaded into your ASP framework depending on a combo box choice / flag click etc.

3.) what is a "slade"? I just checked my translation dictionary, it won't tell

4.) of course you can do it all by yourself but you might also consider using a web cms solution like typo3, contao, drupal or joomla

If you have a variable holding your language choice and name your subfolders holding the localised content in the same manner, you your output portion could look like this:
Code:
<%
set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
pfad=Server.MapPath(language) & "\" & "index.htm"
Set f = fso.GetFile(pfad)
set ts=f.OpenAsTextStream
Inhalt=ts.ReadAll
response.write Inhalt
%>

1) encoding will be 8859-9

2)if I understand correctly there will be /tr and /english subfolder. For example in /english subfolder it holds texts in English. what about menu titles? slide titles?

3) it should be slide.

4) I should have session variable or cookie to tell me that I have a language selection??
 
Read the part of the of the URL that tells you the language, show content from a database that is already translated.
