Hi all, does anyone know of an automatic language switcher I can use? So that the language can be changed from english to whatever?
Thanks -
to be used where exactly? in what enviroment?
more info needed. -
That's a bit complex, do you have your page translated? or are you looking for a kind of automatic translator?
Depends on the purpose of the site (if it's a site) you may try different ways to do that.
What i did for a small site, was creating a session var based on the OS language, and call for the content based on that session var, (you may change the session by clicking a button english/spanish), all that with PHP.
Give us more info. -
Many apologies for the late reply fellas, I was expecting an email notification when replies were made. I wasn't being ignorant!
I'm going to build a website in a CMS called ExpressionEngine, I'd like the user to be able to switch languages from various options i.e from english to german etc.
Does that make more sense?
Thanks again -
I've found this one that seems promising... bit of a cop out but it seems cool...

What do you reckon? -
Keep in mind that you may want to support user-submitted language values. Sometimes, it's not just a matter of translating words, but saying it differently.
"I'm going to the beach" may actually translate to "I'm an easy beach" in french (it doesn't but that's not the point). -
If you truly want a multi-language website, then I recommend you use a CMS system that already has localization built-in, such as Drupal (http://drupal.org) or plone (http://plone.org).
Cheers
