Code
I could implement it, it would take me some time. I would like to know if you don't mind if I implement this functionality. In my case I would translate the site into Spanish.

Hello. I was thinking about that lately (since I'm not a native english speaker). However, I have no clue on how to implement this due to lack of experience on web development. Maybe we could set multiple html files inside a lang folder and then redirect them or another better solution that is not horrible for maintaining this in the future.

That's a good idea. One way to implement it would be to use
window.onload = function() { var userLang = navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage; if (userLang.startsWith("es")) { window.location.href = "spanish.html"; } }
to auto detect the language and redirect to another page like spanish.html. My example is not perfect but it would go along the lines of that.

redirect to another page like spanish.html

This is a good option, but this is very panful if you want to support more than one language and want to maintain the project. Any change or addition we apply on the english html should be changed in all languages too.

I was thinking on two options actually:

1. Leave the index.html and add ids to each piece of information. Create a json for each language and add the translations there.
2. Remove the banner completely inside the index.html and generate this using javascript on the execution time.

I view the second one overcomplicated.

I'm very busy right now irl, so maybe this project wiill have less frequent updates

@MrTorfick Lets make something provisional for now.

Copy the index.html file to lang/spanish.html and make the translations you want there. The spanish version will be in this route for now until I create something better.

Okay. I think I will do something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBYVxQLtrqQ

Thanks for passing me that video, I will keep it in mind.

I will probably do the translation at the end of December, which is when I have free time.

Sorry for the delay in my reply, I have had some unforeseen events that have taken me a lot of time.
