I'd prefer to do this the 'hard' way- create a site-wide map of which text goes where for each language, and when the user clicks the icon for their language (letters representing their language, or a national flag, etc. ) insert/replace all page text with jQuery at that time on the page.

In addition it would be pretty easy to set a cookie or a value in sessionStorage to save the language, something like lang=en vs lang=zh so that the language choice persists across page loads.
