hello guys
I want to develop a multilingual website with php. I do not have many ideas about how to do a site multilingual. I have been looking for some information but what I have got until now seems a bit confusing to me.
The most obvious solution is having one static page for each language. Besides I have seen something about using a table in the database to extract the translations to the corresponding language. However, I have seen that it might take too long for people to see a page because the query might delay the process.
I do not know if this option is the best. Could you please provide me with some good and brilliant approach to solve this issue in any website of any size and with any number of different languages?
Thanks in advance

Re: multilingual website
the term used is called "localization".. search around as there are plenty of solutions/discussions available.

Re: multilingual website
I have seen some information with this search key localization in google but I do not understand very well this reply. I am a newby. Anyways, I think localization has to do with translation itself. However, what I am asking is how to approach this problem from a php perspective.Jcart wrote:the term used is called "localization".. search around as there are plenty of solutions/discussions available.
