How to make a bilingual site without creating a separate ASP page for each language?

Question

I need ideas on how to go about table layout problem. I want to set different width of the columns dependent on the picked language.

Answer 1

Use if-else inside scriplet based on the currently selected language and place appropriate "td" tags.

Hope this is what you are looking for !

Answer 2

A variable switch, such as:

<%
dim columnWidth
if session("lang") = "eng" then
    columnWidth = 50
else
    columnWidth = 100
end if
%>

<table>
    <tr>
        <td width="<%= columnWidth %>px">[content]</td>
    </tr>
</table>

For c#, the code would be:

<%
private int columnWidth;
if (session("lang") == "eng") {
    columnWidth = 50;
} else {
    columnWidth = 100;
}
%>

Answer 3

You can have language specific CSS, and then simply load the appropriate CSS based on language.

In the CSS you can add styles to your table for defining the layout.
