Re: language translations on php site

Take a look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php and scroll down to the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE constant. When you set your language variable within your browser, the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE constant can be accessed by $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']. It results in a two letter code, (usually). The way that I do it, is grab the variable and just take the first two letters of the variable and do my language support according to that. Cheers!
