Help with a website

Hello!

I'm trying to make a website like this in PHP if possible:

1. It will be multilanguage website
When you enter the site there will be 3 or 4 flags. When you
click on
the English flag, the entire website will be in English or
if you want
it to be French you click on the French flag and everything
will be in
French.
(I think I could figure this out by myself but any help
would be much
appreciated.)

2. Now this is the hard part. At least for me.
In the right bottom corner there would be a map of Europe
with all of
the countries. And when you'd go over a country with your
mouse a flag
and a country name would show up on the map and in the left
top corner
a description of this country (some text).


Help me please!

This can be done using either a localization system or by
setting up a
load of files that contain the strings for different
languages.
Obviously you will need to translate all of your content,
but the
simplest way to do it in the site would be to assign each
string of
text (e.g. 'Welcome to example.org!' to a variable, and then
include()
the appropriate file when a language is selected.

e.g.

locale-eng.php:

$welcomeString = "Welcome to example.org!';

locale-french.php:

$welcomeString = "Bienvenue à example.org!";

This is a pretty basic situation, but for a small site it
works well
and doesn't need complex localization scripts.

Thats not technically PHP, it can be done with
CSS/JavaScript. Its
possible, but it is client side and not generated on the
server. If
you need help doing this I'm sure I can find time to lend a
hand 
Drop me a line and we can talk it over.
