I have this solotion for my site:
files:
lang.hr.php
lang.en.php
lang.de.php
with langugae variables in files:
(hr)
$welcome = "Dobrodosli";
(en)
$welcome = "Welcome";
(de)
$welcome = "Willcomen";
and so on...

Then, I give my visitors cookie $_COOKIE['lang'], as my site is primary
for croatian vistors, I just look if visitor have choosen other language
on his visit before (that was *my-clumsy-english*...sorry):

//"gui" part
if(isset($_COOKIE['lang'])) {
$lang = "$_COOKIE[lang]";
} else {
$lang = "hr";
}
include("lang/lang.$lang.php");

//site content
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE (somthing='$wanted_content' AND
lang = '$lang')";

//in case of some old not yet converted static data:
include("data/$lang/$linked_file");

.... that wasn't "copy-paste" method, so some "typing errors" are
possible...

One method, that is suitable in some circumstances
(but not all) is to use gettext
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php

Another approach would be to use the PEAR
Translation2 class:

That depends on what the languages are. The solution for handling English,
French, and German is quite different from handling English, Chinese, and
Arabic.
