Hey, I've actually got an "internet/web" question. What are people doing for multiple language support? Is there some sort of automatic translation that works, or do you have to basically mirror the entire site and translate everything by hand?



Use a professional translating service and make the web site content dynamic, making a copy of the site for each translated language is a maintenance nightmare. If you want the language in the url, you could use mod_rewrite to translate www.domain.org/fr/index.htm to www.domain.org/index.htm?lang=fr.

A friend of mine owns a translation service here in the triangle, their web site is www.dtstrans.com. You can contact his partner for more detail - dshaw at dtstrans.com
