   Content negociation. Apache has direct support for switching
the page served if the HTTP request put a different language order
I think W3C uses that for their translated press releases.

   If you want the navigation stuff to be translated you
can try PHP but as far as I can tell most large sites with
required support for multiple languages actually have to serve
them with different URL, the main example I know being the pages
of the European Parliament:
   http://www.europarl.eu.int/
