website in 2 languages?

[hamon]

hello how can I make a page with the same content but in 2 different
languages? like the person gets to my page, there are two (i.e) flags
representing two different languages, and after u click on one of them, you
get to the site in that language?
any help would be nice

That would require having entirely separate
"sites" for each language. I would set one of them
up as a subweb with a link to the main or "opening" page
in the subweb.

ASP.NET has some very nice tools for this. You can detect
the Web visitor's list of preferred languages (from, in
the case of IE, Tools, Internet Options, Languages), then
load scraps of text in that language from a "resource"
file, then insert the text in each Web page.

This requires, however, that every page in your site be
an .aspx page, that you make every scrap of text
accessible as an ASP.NET control, and that you code a
statement to load each control from the currently-selected
resource file.

Once you understand the drill, this is more tedious than
difficult. The payoff comes when you want to add
additional languages, or when you want to expand,
reorganize, or redesign the site.

Hi

I made a VERY simple 2 language site for a work colleague in a couple of
hours. As you suggest, I used a Union Jack and a Norwegian flag linking to
different language versions respectively. He emailed his original text to a
Norwegian mate, then it came back in Norwegian. I copied and pasted etc etc.

This would seem a very simple solution. Maybe that is what you mean. I used
one web only, no sub webs.

Link - www.salamnimaa.co.uk - it is definately nothing fancy but shows his
apartment for rental to friends and family......

Why make it this difficult?

Just set up one web with a page that offers a choice between the languages
and then just link from there to two homepages in the two languages ...
Instead of setting up one top-down navigation, you set one up with two
branches. I have a bilingual site and I write and design the English version
first. Then I save all the pages under a different name and translate the
text into French.
