multilanguage site

[ktsirig]

Hello all!

I want to construct a multi-language site. I have my data stored in a database and I wanted to know if there is a way of me knowing which language the user sees. Imagine having a little flag on top of the page and when tha users presses it, he/she will see the data in english or in german or in greek etc... How can I keep track of the language though? If, for example, tha user selects ENGLISH in index.html, and then browses through the entire site, how can I know in every page, that I must retrieve the english data from my database?

Thank you!

You could look into globalization and localization in ASP.NET. It uses resource files that are saved next to the aspx files that hold the strings for everything on a page. It uses the accept-language values of the browser to determine what language to show. Then you can just request data with the same language as the currently displayed language.
