Is there anyone on this forum that knows where I can get a code to place into my website to give people a choice of which language they can view my site in, I have many people from many countries and was wondering if there is a script somewhere that can be inserted into my site that can can view this site in their chosen language, thank you so much for your time and Yes Im new here.:D

Doesn't look like JavaScript itself can handle a project of this scope.
This question may need more description.

Cheers

Well, different ways of doing it.

Say you have 3 languages you want the site to be read in.
You will need 3 different versions of the website, each written in a different language.

When a person comes to your site, you can have a front page that will give the option for which language they wish to use. This could be a drop down menu, 3 buttons or links, etc. When the person chooses the language they want to use, the front page then loads the associated website files.

eg.

<html>
<body>

<br><h3>Choose the language you want to use.</h3></br>

<a href="english.html">English</a>
<a href="german.html">German</a>
<a href="greek.html">Greek</a>

</body>
</html>

Or just give your users a link to Babelfish translations of your site. See http://www.altavista.com/help/free/free_searchbox_transl but know that Babelfish will work much better if you have properly used HTML 4.01 Strict.
