This may be off topic, but I'm wondering how do I make my web site available in Spanish?Are there different ways to accomplish this?
Can someone point me in the right direction???

In other words, when they enter the site, they click ENGLISH or SPANISH....
And then obviously the text content is in the appropriate language.
My question is, do I need to have completely seperate versions of my site, one in English and one in Spanish, or is there something (component or otherwise) that can translate the english to spanish on the fly???
Thanks

If you have developed and designed your site in one language you are more than 70% advanced in the second language version.
Keep your styles, images, links and navigation facilities just the same way they are.
about the contents trnslation I strongly recommend to avoid the translation programs availabe (there are way to many)
Transaltions created with automated software are not even close from the real meaning once you aplly them to original language text.
There is nothing worst to a native speaker than find the translation mumble jumble incoherent paragraphs.
if you really want to aproach the native speakers try investing in a decent translation made by a natural speaker.
and that is all i have to say about this.

By the way... yes you have to have both versions, or two sets of text and then pull them from a data base, but you still have to duplicate.
