Vielleicht hilft dir das folgende. Ich hoffe, es stört dich nicht,
dass es in germish ;)) geschrieben ist.

To create a multilingual website use this method:
-------------------------------------------------
Every language get it's own file "[language].inc.php3" which resides
in the /inc directory. 

The images which are needed for the different languages resides in
their own directory. The name of this directory depends on the first
to letters of $HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, for example:
/img/de	german
/img/en	english

At the beginning of each page is the following code:

// Check language
if (strlen($strLang) == 0)
{	$strLang = GetEnv("HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE");
	$strLang = strtolower(substr($strLang,0,2));	// first two letters
}

To get the different language files use this code:

// Switch languages
switch ($strLang)
{
	// language selection
	case "de":
		include ("inc/german.inc.php3");
	break;		

	case "en":
		include ("inc/english.inc.php3");
	break;

	default:
		include ("inc/english.inc.php3");
		$strLang = "en";
}

To get the different images use this:

<img src="img/<? echo $strLang ?>/graphics.gif">

Inside the language files is also a switch construct which is used to
get the strings for the entired file.

switch ($strFileName)
{	
	case "index.php3";
		$langTitle= "Die Einsatz-Möglichkeiten";
		$strUserEdit= "Anmelden";
	break;
	case "user_edit.php3":
		$langTitle 	= "Deine eigene Liste";
		// Welcome text
		$langWelcome = "Hallo und herzlich willkommen!";
...
}

This method allows the same variable name (see $langTitle) in more
then one file.

To get the filename use this code on top of each page (before
including the language files):

$saScript = explode("/",$SCRIPT_NAME);	// get array
$intSize  = count($saScript);		      // Size
$strFileName = $saScript[$intSize-1];	// gives the filename

-- end of description
