You could use sessions to store what language the user has set.
$_SESSION["language"] = "en"; $_SESSION["language"] = $_GET["lang"];
// or this way, then you can do yourwebsite.com/?lang=en
Then create a file with an array of the translation.
$lang["en"]["hello"] = "Welcome to the site"; And then another file could have the Arabic translation
$lang["ar"]["hello"] = "مرحبا بكم في الموقع"; And then you would just call the $lang array with the session
echo $lang[$_SESSION["lang"]]["hello"];
This is a simplified version, you could also use objects to store the translation.
