Hi everybody,

I'd like to set up a new site, which has to be multilingual (english, and
my native language). However, the entire site will be written in html.

Now I'd like to ask whether or not this is possible - I know it's possible
to translate all the pages and use index-en.html and index-nl.html etc, or
even use subdirectories, but I'm still faced with some problems.

First, there is only one index.html - which language should I use here?
Logic dictates that english is more popular than dutch, yet most of my
visitors will be dutch.

Second, is there a way to remember the language a user selected? I'm
thinking cookies here - is it possible to use cookies without using
JavaScript? And reading them? If I'm using JavaScript, I'll be limiting my
audience a little, I'm afraid...

Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions on this subject are very very welcome!

Thanks,

Ikke
