Im planning on getting some people to translate things on my website so I was wondering what would be the best way to make it available to the user? Like they click on their flag then a whole new page is loaded or..........? Thanks for any suggestions.
I would say that the best way would be to atempt to detect the country that their IP address if from, then given that guess what language they are most likely to speak. I would always give the user the option of changing language, so I would also use the flag method. If you want a robot to do the translation for you, (it won't be that accurate) you could always use a system such as, http://uk.babelfish.yahoo.com/free_trans_service Best of luck....
Try getting a few people to translate for you, you might not notice it, but some of the automated translated text won't come out right in some cases.
