Multiple languages?

[draggar]

I'm seriously considering making one of my projects multi-lingual. Possibly English and a minimum of 2 other languages. What do you think is the best way to do it?

I'm thinking subfolders (and not subdomaines) for example:

domain.com (for English)
domain.com/lang1 (for the first language)
domain.com/lang2 (for the second language)

Is this the best way? I'd try to keep each site identical for content (pages translated by people, not programs).

I don't need people to translate, I already have two people for the two languages I want to start with.

Hi draggar, how are you?

Look at CheckMessenger3.com (or .net) and ScanMessenger.com (or ScanMessenger2.com).
I've used subfolder like /en /sv /pt /es... (20 subfolders, one per language).
I never have a problem with this, and is seo friendly, more than subdomains

Good Luck, and sorry my english :$

Thank you for the response, looks like my plan may be the best way to go.

And, your English is better than a lot of the people I deal with on a daily basis (and I'm in the US!).
