It has been discussed and IIRC there were two major approachs to this= issue: - the easy, not very elegant one: every page is translated by creatin= g a new page named like the original but addidn _xx to the name where xx is the c= ode of the lang to which it is traslated. Say, from news.htm you'd have news_es.= htm, news_fr.htm, news_de.htm. I did that in the old site to translate some XC= lient pages. Not very clever, but works :) - a more complex system in which the website automatically keeps trac= k of the translated pages, and if you are surfing, say, in portuguese, all pages a= ppear in portuguese as long as there is a portuguese translation. If there is not,= the original version (usually english) appears automatically. You can switch = between translations at anytime by choosing so (someone proposed a menu bar with = flags which represented langs). I don't mind going on with the 1st system, because the translated tex= t can be quickly reused in case we ever have a big bunch of translations and the s= ystem is switched to the 2nd way. BTW, bienvenido, Ezequiel ! =A1Entre dos ser=E1 m=E1s f=E1cil hacer l= as traducciones! :D Best regards, Aglanor -- Miguel Guzman Miranda A.k.a: Uija, Aglanor E-Mail: ag...@te...
