 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m planning to make my website in multiple languages. Now it’s only in English
   and I would like to add French and Dutch.
 * I created a database “database_eng” at the beginning, now I created two more 
   databases called “database_fr” and “database_nl”.
 * I imported everything, I will translate every post manually, that’s nog the issue.
 * But how can i “link” a language button on my homepage to the correct database
   in wordpress?
    What about the links also “www.benwake.com” -> “www.benwake.com/
   fr” and “www.benwake.com/nl” ? Will all my links still be ok?
 * Thanks for the answers.
 * PS: I saw some plugins which could do the job, but I prefer doing it on my own
   🙂
