Answer 1

Use this JQuery plugin https://github.com/tinoni/translate.js

1 - Include the "trn" class to the text you want to translate:

<span class="trn">text to translate</span>

2 - Define a dictionary:

var dict = {
  "text to translate": {
    pt: "texto para traduzir"
  },
  "Download plugin": {
    pt: "Descarregar plugin",
    en: "Download plugin"
  }
}

3 - Translate the entire page body:

var translator = $('body').translate({lang: "en", t: dict}); //use English

4 - Change to another language:

translator.lang("pt"); //change to Portuguese
