I'll try my best to :)
I have heard from people (Haven't done it my self) that it is possible
and reliable, to use the browsers language setting which gets
transmitted in one of the headers (Not sure which one off hand) to
initially select the language for the site from your database. IE: If
you speak english, and have english selected as your browser language
preference, it will send that to the server, when your script sees it,
it's a fairly good assumption that that would be the preferred language
to display in, so the server pushes up the english version of the site.
Obviously, you need to have the actual translated files stored on your
server to choose from. And, you should always give them away of
overriding the guessed option, just in case they really don't want to
use what it appears like they do :)
Does that explain it better?

Browsers generally send the the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header in a request.
$_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => en-gb,en;q=0.5
thus with mine, preference is en-gb, failing that anything en; failing
that whatever you've got.
ACCEPT_CHARSET is worth a check often aswell; finally POST requests can
also have a CONTENT_LANGUAGE specified which describes the lang of the
content.
