> lang_de.php

> In these files you would have an array such as:-
>
> $lang['hello'] = 'hello';
> $lang['welcome_text'] = 'some welcome text';
> $lang['goodbye'] = 'goodbye';
>
> you would have a different line for each section of text (making sure that
> each section of text had a unique key in the array, thats the thing in the
> square brackets).
>
> The other 2 languages would have exactly the same arrays in them but with
> the text after (and only after) translated into the respective language.

> use an if statement such as the following:-
>
> if($_SESSION['lang'] == 'de')
> {
> require_once('lang_de.php')
> }
> elseif($_SESSION['lang'] == 'fr')
> {
> require_once('lang_fr.php')
> }
> else
> {
> require_once('lang_en.php')
> }
>
> the else 1 would obviously be the default language if nothing was chosen
> (but of course still make it a selection in the pull down menu in case
> someone changes the language and wishes to change it back).
>
> lastly to use the language you simply place $lang['welcome_text'] for
> example where you want the text that this is for to be displayed and it
> will be displayed in the language the person has chosen (or the default
> language if none chosen).

> To fully accomplish this take a look in the manual at the following
> pages:-
>
> http://uk.php.net/session_start
> http://uk.php.net/array
How about texts like this?
