what coding languages are you using (ie. JavaScript, Java, ASP, PHP, ASP.NET, Perl, etc.)? You might want to post this question in the forum of the language you are using. I believe .NET has something built in for that.

I've only heard one way of using XML to change languages. You need the text to be written in each language. Then you put it into XML. For example:

<languages>
<language id="english">
<text>Hello</text>
</language>
<language id="spanish">
<text>Hola</text>
</language>
</languages>
