After reading all the replies, I think that this might be the best
solution. As someone else already pointed out, subdirectories are
probably the best way to tackle the separation of the languages.
As far as the index page is concerned, I'm still undecided. Either way,
it should be clear to any user that:
a) the site is multilingual
b) there is a very easy way to switch languages (via link, or a language
flag or whatever)

That's why I asked if it could be done using plain html. I don't know
PHP, but I know JSP and ASP and am currently learning PHP.
But I was still in doubt whether or not HTML itself offered a solution,
other than letting the user decide or resorting to a piece of JavaScript.
Thanks for the help,
Ikke
