Hey

I put this down a while back and got a response but it dont work.

What is was looking for was a way to translate my page, either by creating a icon at the top taking you to the language version of the page. People advised me to use the google translate application which I have done, however it don't always work, if it does it takes a while. This is not very good and will stop people looking at my site or asking me to design theres.

What i need is to create the link to include a picture of the country flag, linking to a separate page.

I have created the pages in the language just need the code to link to my main site, is there anyone who can help me.

If you use a CMS, most of the mainstream ones have internationalisation/localisation/translation built-in.

Get it translated properly if you value the people reading it.

I guess it depends on how elaborate your site is with just one language. If it's just one page then duplicate it to language versions and then just use <a href etc on your image.
If it's a multiple page affair then you can either duplicate all the pages or use PHP includes to bring in the content.
