i have read a few articles about multi lingual options and pluggings but i do no really know the one that suites me.

Actually i want to make my site in two (maybe even 3 languages) because my prospect visitors are from different countries. I will translate the posts myself so no need for auto translate.

Ideally would automatically (im a beginner user) set up the same page in two languages with the option to change with a button (like flags for the country language) from one to another.

Every time i will make a post, page, subpage or whatsoever will ask me the language and i will choose one or another.

is that possible? or at least something similar?

there are so many options out there that for the ones that we dont know a lot is not easy to chose.

thank for the help.
