I have a small application that will be used by both spanish and english users. The application has about four webpages with various asp.net functions. The database backend is sound.
What is the best approach for the front end / UI? Two websites with the different languages ? A single website with all text in both EN, ES? Or a single website with text appearing in the language of their choosing?
EDIT: This is an ASP.NET application
Two websites with different languages is a lot of maintenance. Any modifications made will need to be done twice. For this reason, as a programmer, I dislike it. However, if the person maintaining the site prefers it this way, then by all means, go this route.
However, if you are looking to provide a proper bilingual solution, you would definitely be better off with a single website instance, with a multilingual data provider.
There is a pretty good one for WordPress that I have been playing with lately, called LangSwitcher. I have no idea how you have your website setup, or what you are using to develop it. Just throwing out an idea for you.
