Automatic Language Support for PHP/HTML Sites

DEV Community •

Developers often postpone adding bilingual support until a client needs it urgently. The usual solutions are either too heavy for small projects or require tedious manual work. A new open-source script called Automatic Language Support tackles this by adding Turkish and English toggles to existing PHP or HTML sites with minimal fuss.

The tool processes your project text automatically, stores strings in JSON files, and injects a modern, responsive language switcher into your pages. It’s built for rapid deployment on landing pages, small product sites, or internal tools where a bilingual requirement lands in your inbox at the last minute.

After running the script, you gain full control over translations via the JSON files. While it won't capture brand voice perfectly, it acts as a fast bootstrapper and workflow accelerator. The author is considering adding more language packs and finer controls based on community feedback.
