Yet, when I read Chris' comment, I think back about it and find that the problem is feasible. For English, there might be two flags and these will be inefficient. Now I think option 3 and 6 are will be nice. I agreed with the flag option. Yet, when I read Chris’ comment, I think back about it and find that the problem is feasible.

I am from Belgium. We have 3 languages in Belgium. You can't use the belgian flag for this. And I hate it to have to search for a French or Dutch flag to select the language (they look alike and can't recall them, there not my collors...). Also for English: do you use UK or USA flag? I just want plain english and I have no preference for either. Option 3 is my absolute preferred way. I guess "context" (who are my visitors?) is really importent to decide for each option.

I do know about asp.net localization etc but the content is coming from a database and is not static content. At the moment my database tables are like this. page_id, page_id_en, page_id_el And i wanto draw out the information based on user selection. At the moment i am using cookies so when the user selects greek it will get the greek content. I think cookies are o.k but obviously some users turn them off. What is the best way to achieve this ? is it cookies or something else? i know microsofts web sites are like this www.microsoft.com/FR/thispage etc.. is this a good way? Hi experts,
