I am seeing many sites on the web that suggest a language choice - usually two or three languages and it changes the entire site into the selected language.

  • I want to know how to do it professionally?

  • Is there any plugin that makes life easier?

  • can google-translate be molded to make this happen?

  • I want to change the language of my site to 7-languages? How can this be done?

  • my site uses HTML,css,JQuery,AJAX and PHP, MySQL...so kindly guide me as such.

  • what I am currently doing is loading a different page (which has been written in that language) when a user click on any language.

Here is my code: 

<a href="page_lang1">lang 1</a><br/>
<a href="page_lang2">lang 2</a>

use language files to store your i18n like this:

en.php

$lang['hello'] = 'hello';

fr.php

$lang['hello'] = 'bonjour';

then in your code, use something like this instead of directly writing the word:

echo lang('hello');

with the function:

function lang($key){
  return $lang[$key];
}

And then load en.php if language is set to en, fr for fr, etc...

You can achieve this by many ways. It depends on how you would like to do it.

In PHP if you use a specific modern framework I'm sure you would find something related.

In jQuery you can also find some plugins that would do the job.

But as for 7 languages, I can expect that you might have rtl languages, such as Arabic or Hebrew, in this case you don't need only a translation way, but you also need to modify your css.

Hope this helps.

Multi-regional and multilingual sites

yes you can do that with the help of google translate and as far as i know this is a easier approach than the others and saves a lot of time.
