texte = Hey Donovan, I have been developing something similar here myself. For the Admins of my CMS I have started to replace all directions and text labels with language variables. In my system it's a global setting in the prefs.db that chooses the language, but that works for my application It sounds like the cookie is better for yours. I have a generic language db with a language indicator, variable name, and actual words (english or french). Of course this means I had to create an entire language module to manage the ever expanding system or variables, and it still has bugs, but getting better. Anyway, I'm still working out the specific details, but some pages I preload the appropriate language variables at the top, and sometimes I just perform a lookup if it's only 1 or 2 per page. Hopefully my ideas help. ----------------- Matthew A Perosi Psi Prime, Inc. 323 Union Blvd Totowa, NJ 07512 Phone: 973-413-8210 Fax: 973-413-8217 Donovan Brooke wrote: > Hello all... since it's a bit slow.. > > I am doing a site right now that is to be both english and > spanish.
