If you want to do this, one suggestions is:
Have a db, where you store the text for each ouput, button, etc...
under a number (in mysql autonum is your friend)
copy this db, changing the textcontent in every desired language,
to a new name f.e db_english, db_french....
now make an object, or function which requests the content of
number x and disply it where it´s needed.
like <? echo transtext("number","$language"); ?>
As a hint, when incrementing the number of the text, add 10, as later you´ll
need another text, and this will be put at the end of db.
When making the site-scripts, don´t forget to have the original text nearby
as comment.
Otherwise you get mad, when you touch the code a second time.
