How complicated to have 2nd language version of website?

Mynt · 06-08-2009, 01:10 AM

This would be for a WordPress site.
Ideally, I'd like to have a toggle button that says both "english" and "spanish"

I have no clue how complicated this is, just wanting to ask before translating everything.

Thanks.

There is a few plugins for wordpress that will aloow you to translate your content to another language, the one I use is called Global translator and works well.

Best thing to do here is find a translator that doesn't have a site or has a bad looking site and swap them services. I love bartering services because each person can use their talents in a useful way.

Hope this helps!

Opps, might have said it in a confusing way.

The translation is no problem at all.

I guess what I'm asking: the scripting/coding complexity nature of the following end result:

Well here's an example... it's a flash site, and mine is WP so probably not the best example..

Departement | Studio créatif - Creative Studio | Montréal

Towards bottom left you can toggle between English and French. When you click it, the site is translated.

Preferably I'd like both buttons on mine.. on that site, only one shows at a time.

I pretty much have all content translated already as it's not much. Just curious to know how much coding this would take--to get an idea of what I'll be charged on elance.

Thanks.
