I am developing a site in PHP for a social organization.
This will be in more than 10 different languages.How can i convert the same page's text into another language e.g. english to french or viceversa.

I don't know if there is a way to do this with PHP.... The best thing I can think of is to provide a link to run your page through the Google Translator.

one way would be to translate the text into those ten languages, put each in a seperate file, give the user a choice of language on the index page, then include one of those files based on what language the user has chosen.

it'd take some work with the translating, but the mechanics of it (ie, the php programming) should be pretty straight-forward. and, as a bonus, you'd have a much lesser chance of translation goof-ups which the automated translaters are prone to.

Actually, you could run the page through an automatic translator to get those other nine pages..... But like Hallgrimur has stated, they do have bugs and imperfections.

You could try a PEAR internationalization package. http://pear.php.net/packages.php
