    Long ago, when I was knitttng web pages, we used to create separate folders and/or
    used naming style (enPage.html, gePage.html) for the site. We were never very
    exited about those jobs.

    if you are able to use server side coding, you could set up language files.
    (enText.tst, nlText.txt, etc...)
    which would look like:
    page1.header=hello world
    page2.header=page2 hello world
    etc.

    then all you need is a method that parses the text file and reads the apropriate text into the page.
