Let us assume a website in two languages, e.g. German (default) and English.
Now the blog should be German only and these entries shall be shown automatically on the English page.
How can I achieve this?
I think just read the source code and add some kind of a hack. Shouldn't be the rocket science.

How would you add a second language to your website only with html/css? I already have the english version in html/css and need the german one to.
A quick and dirty way to do this would be to create a copy of every page, but in German, then link the pages together based on language. For example, where your English homepage may link to English pages, your German homepage would link to German duplicates. You would only have to check what language the user wants once, on the homepage.
I'm sorry I do not know how to word that title better. I have tried searching google but my terminology isn't helping my results.
Let me explain the context. When you're on a news website or blog and you're on their homepage like: www.homepage.co.uk/ and then you click an article it will go somewhere like this: www.homepage.co.uk/2017/article/ how do they make the 2017 appear? because if you remove the /article/ from the url it takes you to an archive of all the links in that year? I don't understand, is there a process to this?
When I click a link in my website it goes to: www.website.co.uk/link
I want to be able to have that 2017/link/ in the url so they can find the archive of that year just like on their websites?
How do I do this?
I am sorry if I am not explaining this very well.
I understand changing my filenames to : "2017/article.html" might work but I do not believe that is the correct way of doing it?
Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions!
You're asking about a couple of things: one is the taxonomy of the site. Taxonomy, if you don't know, is the "shape" of or how your site is organized. News sites, for instance, are usually organized by date and perhaps topic (Health and Leisure, Politics, Entertainment, etc.). The other aspect of your question is regarding what you might call RESful "hacking" of URLs. One of the tenents of REST is that URLS (uri, to be accurate) are supposed to be hackable. A news site might have /2017/10/10 to display all articles for Oct 10. Maybe you remove the last "10", and get all the articles for October so far. If you are not using a site platform that does this for you, you will have to maintain that taxonomy yourself, and manually write all the links. Systems such as Drupal and Joomla, among others, will translate your taxonomy into automatically-maintained links. In editing a page on one of these platforms, you typically only refer to the system's internal name of the page (could be a shortened version of the article's title in the above example), and the underlying engine takes care of reconstructing the URL for you (in case the page moves, or its tags/taxonomy changes).
This is a big topic, and I encourage you to do some further reading:

Hi I'm building a website in dutch, and on the index.html page there is an english flag for visitors to click on to get an english version on the site.
I'm wondering, specifically keeping SEO in mind, whats good practice considering web directories.
The dutch is www.website.com/index.html
would the english be something along the line of www.website.com/index-en.html?
any light shed would be appreciated.
In first place Google recommend countries specific domain (but is so expensive).
So I recommend subdomains (en.website.com) but if you can not create subdomains also you can use directories like: website.com/en/
Take a look to https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en
Basically, Google will just take the default language to crawl which in this case is Dutch. If your website have separate English pages, not those using translator widget those sort, Google will also index it as separate pages. But in search engine, it will look like Dutch and English version of index.html next of another.

Hyphen would be good but remember not to overuse. Refrain from using other symbols. Google regards overusing of symbols as spammy.
Screenshot of a footer:
I'm unsure if there is a particular name for that kind of footer or if it's a widget for a certain framework. That particular example was taken from buffalonews.com
After I know the name I can refine my searching for implementing it. Thank you for your input.
I believe the name you're looking for is a Site Map Footer. This is common now-a-days to display the contents of the site to the user while also offering crawlers direct links to content pages.
The key here is to display pages that are relevant/important to the user without inundating them so many links they can't figure out where to go.
The part that lists the content of your website is called "sitemap" AFAIK
Looks like a fairly common set of copywrite notices.
There is no standard widget or way to present this, apart from legal requirements (which may vary depending on where the site operates from).
I don't think there is actually a name for this king of footer though I agree it is quite common.
Maybe it is because this "kind" is very subjective and would have to be very specific and most of the times not helpful. (Or maybe because nobody has coined it yet) :)
Look at Brad's answer
If you have wordpress you could see some here for inspiration. In wordpress and the popular CMS you can change the footer for many available ones.
I've been given a copy of a proposed site agreement in which one of the conditions is:
...each of us may for the Term:
...frame the other's site
What is meant by "framing"? I assume it might have something to do with an iframe embed or to capture part of our main page without additional logos and other such imagery?
My understanding is that "framing" is basically hijacking your content and making it look like it's a part of my site, like you said, stealing content into an iframe.
From Internet Legal Issues:Framing
The use of framing technology was a central issue in the Washington Post v. TotalNews case that was settled a few years ago whereby several prominent news organizations, including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and CNN brought a lawsuit against the Web-based news gathering site TotalNews. TotalNews was using frame technology and hyperlinking to display the news organizations' information on the TotalNews Web site and was surrounding the frames with its own advertising.
In that context, it sounds like simply doing an
<iframe src='http://www.test.com' title='My Test Frame'/>
If you're not sure, however, it's always a good idea to ask and see what it is they mean so there is no misunderstanding and, as usual, always get it in writing :)
