Hello,

I am providing some links, go through them and they will guide you towards your goal. You will need to localize your website in order to change it as per user desired and your web site supported language :)

browse in details the following:

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa308935(VS.71).aspx
• http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/LocalizationPackage.aspx

In short, you will keep translated strings for different languages in resource files (.resx). Each lang uage will have its own resource file containing all web site translatable contents (text --> words and sentences, as you wish while designing :) ) translated into that language :). Then at each page load / initialization, you can call the local methods to get langugage from settings (say web.config) and change the text of labels.

For step by step guidelines, do read the attached posts :)

If you want to translate to multiple languages without spending a lot of time & resources, you can consider using the Microsoft Translator widget or customize with the SDK - http://www.microsofttranslator.com/dev/

Google Translate has an API too but it will be shut off completely on December 1, 2011 - http://mvark.blogspot.com/2011/05/say-goodbye-to-google-translate.html
