Change site language

[dtm32236]

Hey guys,

I'm searching around, trying to figure out a good way to change the language on my site. I want to allow the user to be able to pick between English, Spanish, and Chinese; I'm not sure how to go about doing this.

The content is not updated frequently, but there is a lot of information. I'm leaning towards using folders (mysite.com/en; mysite.com/sp; mysite.com/ch) and duplicating the site using these different languages. The only problem is that any time there's a change, I have to update 3x as much.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this?
Paid services is also an option.

Thanks for any help.

Check this out: http://www.altavista.com/help/free/free_searchbox_transl

You can add a line of code to your pages to reference BabelFish, which will translate it dynamically. Only thing: check your wording and make sure the translation fits your wording. I've found that I use idiomatic phrases, they do not translate well.

Thanks KDLA,

But I can't have the huge "AltaVista Bablefish" box, and I'd rather it open in the same window.

I'd rather pay for a service that I can customize, or write it myself and store the translated pages in different folders (/en /sp /ch).

Thanks though, I really appreciate your help.
