hgtwn Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I posted this message in another catagegory but I think it was the wrong place, so i'm putting it here....I am creating a multilanguage site and need some feedback from you all. What I started creating is a site that uses the same page for each language but calls it's respective language file (ie. en.php). Depending on what language is selected (www.site.com/page.php?lang=en) the respective language file will be called by include('/en.php'); Is this a good way to handle multiple languages? I want to stay away from databases and this was my solution. My concern is that I don't know how search engines like Google or Yahoo handle searching pages like this. I want all of my languages to be included in the search but does Google search www.site.com/index.php?lang=en and www.site.com/index.php?lang=spanish separately? I want to be able to search my Spanish terms and go to the right page with the right $lang var set. Is this what happens? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 You could just put each different language in a folder like so:website.com/eng/index.phpand on the main website.com allow them to choose a language. That way they will index the main page where you choose the language thus allowing whoever finds your website the option of changing the language.
