Write your content in all your languages. Start a content block with a block delimiter (....) and end it with the same delimiter. Within the content block separate your languages with a separating delimiter (..).

Multitongue looks for content blocks and removes from the page (DOM) all the content not of the choosen language.

To use multitongue reference it with the <script> tag. This is usually either within the <head> tag or at the end of your page, but before the closing </body> tag.

What's Good

many languages, can handle as you feel confortable putting on one page
any language, whatever you can encode in HTML
fast, blink and a typical page will be reduced to the choosen language
small
- less than 2.7 KB of minified code for bare minimum
- 4.5 KB of minified code for batteries included setup that picks language based on browser's language, and provides option for user to change the language.
modular design
customizable delimiters
easy to implement
easy to modify content
easy to compare content across languages

What's Bad

Search engine results may show the delimiters in the search result. For instance Google.
Jitter may happen as the page loads

Credit Where It Is Due

This project was inspired by the multilingualizer product/service of Affliate Web Designers. They seem like good folk. While extensive testing hasn't been done it is expected that this project improves on both the download size and page processing time over Multilingualizer.
