[RESOLVED] multilangual website

[Ali_baba]

Hello,

I am working on the database that will be used in 7 EU countries. For this, I need to make the multilangual interface.

Now there are two ways. Either I need to translate all scripts into different languages that is a pain in the behind, or I should make the script, and call the strings from some file or from table which is an easy approach.

For the easy approach, I need to detect the language of the user's browser. How can I do that job? Is there any predefined variable/function in PHP?

If you have any suggestions/recommendations that can help me then please let me know.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Ali Baba

I believe the variable $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] elicits the browser language setting. There are also geographical locator scripts based on the IP address (PHP Net and Google use these), but as an English speaker living in a non-English-speaking country, I find these annoying.

Yes, I understand your pain since I am also a foreigner living in Finland.
However, I am doing what I asked for

Thanks for your help. My problem has been solved 🙂
