James, x5 has these language changers inside.
Goto your header or footer,
press next to pulldown menu below the manage button, update the next screen with button on top.
goto translator section, install one or both press ok.
now use pulldown menu below and select translator objects, then drag object to header or footer, test adjust size and position and you are done.
Best Regards

language choose box image as follows, different language different website.not just translator
James, for every country, you need to make an new project if you want it this way. (with language folders)
copy your project, rename the copy to projecyT_spanish or something.
Then you need to manualy translate all objects and pages. If you do this for 5 languages, you need 5 projects! All in there own language, and if you change something in 1 project you need to this also in the other 4 seperatly.
This is if you want it to have extensions.
So it is a lot of work and effort. So think good about it, the software does not translate things on his own.
You can select offcource the language in step 1, all standard texts (in buttons and so will change, but your website content that you have wrote will not.
then you need to upload to your server in a folder called yourwebsite_eng for all projects and upload every language to every folder country. then set the links to these website names in x5.
Inside the name in x5, you can choose edit, there you can select a flag.

So my first answer might be not so bad.
goodluck.

A pulldown is not standard in x5, you will get an entry page with several flags from there on you can continue to the correct site.
If you want a pulldown you need to use custom code. I have no experience with it and not the time to create one for you on short notice.
try here for some example code, or search the inetrnet.
