Website language

[Guest]

Hello!

I've successfully created and published my website with FrontPage 2002 and I
love it. Although I have made all my pages bilingual (English and French), I
would prefer having two buttons (one English and one French) on my main page
which people could simply choose from so that they would get either the
English version or the French version of my site. Is it possible to do that?
If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Easy. Insert two button images. Link one to the English version and the
other to the French version.

you'd basically need to duplicate the site (one english, one french), then
create the links to both sites from a main index page.

I'd put the english one in a sub-web called "english" and a subweb called
"french" to simplify and avoid confusion; or else just make a page for each
language, put them in the same folders if you can't or aren't allowed to
work with subwebs.
eg home_french.html and home_english.html; contact_english.html and
contact_french.html (etc).


Otherwise you'd make a normal hyperlink to each language's 'home' page.
Using buttons, images, text links or whatever.


or if you want to be really clever, use the FP results wizard, access
databases and pull the content out of the database eg home.asp?lang=english
or home.asp?lang=french etc.
