Unless you want to mirror the entire website twice, with two seperate html files, one for German and one for English, then you will probably be best off with a dynamic server side scripted solution. Nearly all the work I do is multilingual, both French and English and we use a database driven approach with PHP.

If you really can't use a server-side / database driven approach and you don't want to make the same page twice with different languages, then perhaps you can cheat a little and use Javascript and place all the language values in an array. Populate the HTML with the english array or the German array, depending on the link selected.

There are whole books written about javascript and whole books about what you want to do. There is no way anyone can do the whole process here.

Did you try the translation service above? Sounds like that would be your best bet.

I inherited a simple page that needs to be Strict HTML and I'm not very familiar with this standard. What I'm trying to do _should be_ pretty simple so I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to make a table with 2 columns split down the middle - simple enough. In the past, without Strict HTML, I would just specify the width of each 'cell' as 50%, but width isn't allowed in a <td> under Strict HTML. Sometimes I...

In re, the punctuation "^" can exclude a single character, but I want to exclude a whole word now. for example I have a string "hi, how are you. hello", I want to extract all the part before the world "hello", I can't use ".*" because "^" only exclude single char "h" or "e" or "l" or "o". Will somebody tell me how to do it? Thanks.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
