Dear all,


I have a customer wanting another special thing...

He wants a VERY extensive website (very large, 500+ screens) in multiple
language versions.  In this, he also wants to be able to swap languages
within each screen.  In that you're at a certain page on the website, you
click the magic language selection button and hey presto, that specific
content is now in another language, and all buttons too and...

I'm in a bit of a pain to make it work.  I'm planning on keeping all
languages in a seperate directory.  So that when he's at a page say
/ENG/products/prod0521456.htm you can push the 'FR' button and end up at
/FR/products/prod0521456.htm PLUS change the navigation and header to eg
/FR/head.htm and /FR/navi.htm

If I'm going to have ASP on the server, I think there'll be no problem, but
if it's not, I'm afraid I'll have to use javascript.

Anyone?
