Your basically looking to find out the options for Internationalization & Localization provided by .Net. These typically rely on a combination of language specific resource files & use of the utilities & locale information provided by the System.Globalization namespace. There is a very good step-by-step tutorial which guides you through this process here:

The tutorial is aimed at the construction of a desktop application however the vast majority of it's contents are applicable to a website/web-app. There are also some fantastic asp.net specific resources available here:
