Ok so I may be making a basic website for a very small company - that I work for.

The website needs to be in 4 different languages - English/Spanish/french/Portugese.

No need for flash at this time but needs to look nice and be simple....

So what do i need to think about?

HTML, CSS, PHP, Java?

Definitely.

PHP

Possibly. Not essential to use PHP if it's just going to be a basic static site, but it might be useful to create the four different language versions of the site without repeating code that's the same on each page, i.e. the header. Just put any repeated content into a separate file then use PHP to include it at the appropriate point on each page.

Java?

Can't see you needing Java at all. (Those Java buttons, etc. are really not good practice!)
 
For PHP, you'll really only be needing to use includes which are simple as.
CSS is really easy to learn (difficult to master).
And considering you know HTML but not CSS, I'm assuming you still do everything in tables. If so, you'll really need to brush up.

I know basic HTML and always used notepad to edit, so yes I need to do a little refresh... Right now it's a case of seeing fi it's worth my time or not;):D:o
 
Run through some tutorials and see how you do.

Personally, I'd be more worried about design skills as a simple static site is, well, simple. Making it look good is more difficult.
