Does anyone know of a good way to switch between content on a billingual site? I've seen it on a number of sites and I presume it is javascript? Thanks

It is probably NOT JavaScript, as JavaScript should be used to enhance, not as a requirement for content. It's likely that there is some server side language (PHP, JSP, ASP, etc.) that controls which content is served.

Or the HTTP Server itself. For example, Apache has Content Negotiation [httpd.apache.org].

What you might be referring to is a Google translate link. Tools like this allow you to have your site content translated automatically. [translate.google.com...] Other than something like this, Fotiman is right -- you need to control translation on the server site. For a smaller site I would just recommend duplicating and maintaining the site in another language. For complex sites you'll need some kind of programming involved.
