Just make a file in language.php and include the file in php pages

 

and in language.php

 

<?php
if($language="English")
{
///////////////////////////For Home Page//////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////Menu////////////////////////////////
$menu1="Home";
$menu2="Assembly stations";
$menu3="Terms";
$menu4="Order tracking";
$menu5="My account";
// your other stuffs...
}

if($language="Chinese")
{
// write the translated version here... 

}

?>

 

If you are saving the contents in DB then you can one add field for language i.e. EN or CH so while fetching data you can check in where clause like where LANG='EN' ...

 

I am doing the same thing for my site... it is working till now

 

Good Luck...
