multilingual web site

Can be helpful sometimes.

If you're looking to code a multilingue website, this is a technique i used in many solutions, specially for text that is inside a php code.


<?php
/**
* index.php
* multilingual website
* lang/index.fr.php French translation
* lang/index.en.php English translation
*
* @author Hatem <hatem@php.net>
* @version 1.1.0 27 février 2002
*/

/**
* Detect and include language
*/
session_start();

if(!isset($lang)) {
$lang = getenv('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE');
$lang_default = "en";
}

if (is_file("lang/index.$lang.php"))
{
$_SESSION["lang"] = $lang;
include("lang/index.$lang.php");
} else {
$_SESSION["lang"] = $lang_default;
include("lang/index.$lang_default.php");
}


/**
* Then code your website here
*/
echo _HELLO_;

echo "\n"._INFO_;
?>

<?php
/**
* lang/index.en.php
*/
define("_HELLO_", "Hello");
define("_INFO_", "This web site support english and french");

?>

<?php
/**
* lang/index.fr.php
*/
define("_HELLO_", "Salut");
define("_INFO_", "Ce site web supporte l'anglais et le français");
?>
