i seen pages on some sites have this where it basically shows to click here to see site in a choice of languages. anyone can recommane me a good one that they have used. i would like to have one that does Polish at least. i tried to translate my site myself but simce my Polish sux i gave up. but there are sites that do this automatically by reading your page and doing a translation. i know its not perfect but it saves some time everytime the site gets updated with new text.

google have a translator, with a bit of php knowledge you can translate your site using google into many languages

hehe and i have no php knowledge at all. LOL

[general vegitable]

well you would need to learn it

Well, you do not need to know lots of PHP; but it would certainly help if you knew some, in that it would be easier for knowledgeable individuals to help you

As for the Google translator thingy: you can use cURL to send queries and download responses. You'd need to know what format Google receives queries in, send your translation request in the same format, and output the response into your page. Preferably, you'd be using a caching mechanism to speed up page loads and reduce bandwidth usasge (you can use my unicache script if you want, which is floating around somewhere).

I use this one on my site: http://www.altavista.com/help/free/free_searchbox_transl

does anyone know of a site that does english to polish?

you could do it like this:
(dirty and quick-coded way, nto tested)

en.php

Code:

<?php
$hello="Hello";
$welcome="welcome to our site";
$enjoy="Enjoy!";
?>

nl.php

Code:

<?php
$hello="Hallo";
$welcome="welkom op onze site";
$enjoy="Veel plezier!";
?>

index.php:

Code:

<?php
$lang=$_GET['lang'];
switch($lang)
{
 case'en':
require"en.php";
break;
 case'nl':
require"nl.php";
break;
default:
require"en.php";
break;
}
echo $hello."<br>";

echo $welcome."<br>";

echo $enjoy."<br>";
?>

you'd call index.php liek this:
sub.domain.com/index.php?lang=en

for example. should do the job

i dont have a problem with coding my site in 2 languages. i did that before but it was horrible as my polish is really bad. thats why i rather have a automated way of doing it and i want "on the fly" translating. it will be less maintenance and people will still be able to read and understand the site somewhat ok.
