Multilanguage website, what is the best solution

Post by dirkacm »

Hello,

I have to build a 'big' multilanguage website. I've searched the internet and find a lot the gettext-solution. But is that not an 'old' solution? Are there not more modern solutions?

Thanks for your advise.

If you're not fussed about 100% accurate translations then you could use Google's Translation widget on your site - it will save you a lot of work.

If you want to do everything yourself then gettext is a tried & tested method, or you could code your own database solution pretty easily.
