Htaccess Page Translation

Use Google Translate to enable auto translation for foreign speakers to use your site. NOT CLOSE TO PERFECT but a nice feature with htaccess.

Step 1: Add language code to end of URL's - for example this URL would be http://www.promoteseo.com/htaccess_page_translation.php-he

Step 2: Add to htaccess file
