However, IMO, I don't think session is necessary, unless you intend to save it for later use, during that same visit from the user. If it's just a 1 time request, you can just use (example) $_GET['lang']=en,de,fr,... Then just split up individual languages, process the request of each supported language, and place each relevant localization in its own tab panel, div (non js), etc... Regards, Tommy
