A sample would help but I think that I prefer to do it a different way but I just don't know how to do it. I do like this but I prefer to do this a different way and I think it keeps files more organized but I'm not sure how to do it. Perhaps someone can tell me. I want to have each language files in their own folder (<b>en/</b> and <b>fr/</b>) for english and french for example. I want to be able to click on the image/text and have the page I'm currently on change to the same page but in a different language. So essentially, we are just <b>changing the folder name from en to fr</b>. Can anyone please tell me how to do this? A sample site here but it's in ASP code (http://www.contacservices.com/) Thank you in advance. I don't really understand how you are doing this.

You;ll have to create files for all the pages if you decide to add one more language one day. IMHO much more flexible approach would be storing selected site language in a cookie, and use custom function to retrieve text in specified language from some array.

It's better to start things off the right way than incorporate a hack and have to go back and fix it later. The proper way to add internationalization to your PHP code is through the use of Gettext.
