Any any and all comments are welcome, it will be a learning curve no matter which route I take so a little advice on the best direction pros cons would be great. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff: If it were me, I wouldn't use any problematic browser detects schemes (they don't work) or any of that high-thought stuff -- it's beyond me. I would simply use a "click here" for English/French/Whatever link and then pull all the language specific stuff from the dB. Then throw the user's choice in a session and carry-on -- simple. It wouldn't be any different than a php style sheet switcher, like this: http://sperling.com/examples/styleswitch1/ Instead of green/red/blue/black, why not English/French/Spanish/German?
