    you can use http://php.net/manual/en/book.gettext.php and poedit to edit language files
    this would be just for static parts of the website.

    then you can have a database table where you specify the language for every content item, so if the current language selected is english you retrieve the english content, else the other language.

    This way you can add as many languages as you want and it doesn't get more complicated at all then when you have just two
