    You could have a set of files named en.php, sp.php etc on your server.
    In each file, all messages text could be stored.

    Like in sp.php,
    $text["close_window"] = "maximizar la ventana";
    $text["thank_you"] = "Gracias";

    and in en.php,
    $text["close_window"] = "Close this window";
    $text["thank_you"] = "Gracias";

    In your main file(index.foo), you could use echo $text["close_window"]; or
    echo $text["thank_you"] where you want this text to be displayed.

    Then based on User String, or some other data, you could conditionally include english.lang or spanish.lang in the server side, according to user’s language.

    Files Structure:

    index.php //main file
    lang //language-files Folder
    lang/en.php //english language file
    lang/sp.php //spanish language file

    Example Code:

    en.php: 

    <?php
$text["close_window"] = "Close this window";
$text["thank_you"] = "Thank you";
$text["welcome"] = "Welcome";
$text["home"] = "Home";
$text["about_us"] = "About Us";
$text["company_history"] = "Company History";
$text["company_profile"] = "Company Profile";
$text["contact_us"] = "Contact Us";
$text["greetings"] = "You have selected English";
?>

    sp.php: 

    <?php
$text["close_window"] = "maximizar la ventana";
$text["thank_you"] = "Gracias";
$text["welcome"] = "Bienvenida";
$text["home"] = "Casa";
$text["about_us"] = "Sobre Nosotros";
$text["company_history"] = "Historia de la Empresa";
$text["company_profile"] = "Perfil de la Empresa";
$text["contact_us"] = "Contact Us";
$text["greetings"] = "Usted ha seleccionado Español";
?>

    index.php: 

     //Check if browser sent the User Language code
if(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"])      // if browser sent
    //AND is NOT empty
    && ($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] != "")
    ){ //if conditions END
    // get first two letters from it
    $user_lang = substr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"], 0, 2);
}
if(isset($_POST["lang"]) //if user selected it
  //and is in our desired format
  && (strlen($_POST["lang"]) == 2)
){
    $user_lang = $_POST["lang"];
}
//if User requested to change language, ask him
if(isset($_POST["lang_change"])
  && ($_POST["lang_change"])) // is true ?
{
    ask_lang();
    exit(); // exit the script now..
}
if(!isset($user_lang)){ //if we dont have $user_lang yet, ask
    ask_lang();
    exit();
}
//Main index file contents
include("lang/".$user_lang."php");
?>

            <fieldset>
                <legend>Please select language:</legend>
                <input type="radio" value="en" name="lang" />English<img src="en.png"><br />
                <input type="radio" value="sp" name="lang" />Spanish<img src="sp.png"><br />
                <input type="submit" value="OK" name="sumbit" />
            </fieldset>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>
<?php
} //function ask_lang() ENDS

    Assumptions:

    • All type of possible translation files are in the Lang folder.
    • User input is sanitized.
    • Google translated all these Phrases correctly context-wise.

    Here is a Live Snippet at Codepad.viper-7.com

    The Live Snippet & In-Answer code has a small difference. Here, my code uses include to get external language files, whereas in Viper-7’s codepad, I use in-script functions.
    Reason: Because I can’t put/write files to codepad’s system.
