I would do this on the backend. Pass a language variable to your data

And have one mapfile and just have your translations in

Yeah, that is what I have done but that requires the client to handle the management of the language selection and as Bart is pointing out the language selection should be handled on the server.

Here is an example where you can select English, Arabic or French for the language of the Instructions.

http://gis.imaptools.com/routing/leaddog/?zoom=10&lat=33.865&lon=35.52263&layers=B0TTTF&start=35.484217%2033.830394&stop=35.627718%2033.92659&method=STS&lang=arb

It obviously needs more work to translate the whole page but my job was to just deal with the instructions part of this.
