No, not out of the box. That said, here's a quick and dirty solution that will work with Javascript enabled.

Login as root

Download and install the autotags plugin: http://code.google.com/p/geeklog/downloads/detail?name=autotags_1.1.0_1.8.0.zip

Enable PHP code execution in autotags:
From "Admins only" menu select "Groups"
Find "Autotags Admin" and click "Edit"
Tick the box "autotags.PHP" and click "Save"

Create a new autotag:
From "Admins only" menu select "Autotags"
Click "Create new"
For "Tag" enter "langsel"
Tick the box near "Replace with PHP?"
Click "Save"

Open the file "system/lib-custom.php"
At the bottom of the file (but before the line "?>" ) add the below code and save the file.
Text Formatted Code
function phpautotags_langsel()
{
    global $_USER, $_CONF, $_SCRIPTS;

    if ($_USER['uid'] ) {
        $retval = "<a href='" . $_CONF['site_url'] . "/usersettings.php'>Change in profile</a>";
    } else {
        $_SCRIPTS->setJavascript('
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function () {
                    $("#langsel").show().change(function () {
                        var selection = $("#langsel option:selected").val();
                        document.cookie = "' . $_CONF['cookie_language'] . '=" + escape(selection);
                        location.href = "";
                    });
                });
            </script>
        ');
        $language = MBYTE_languageList($_CONF['default_charset']);
        $retval  = '<noscript>This functionality requires JavaScript</noscript>' . LB;
        $retval .= '<form><div><select id="langsel" style="display: none">' . LB;
        foreach ($language as $langFile => $langName) {
            $retval .= '<option value="' . $langFile . '"';
            if ($langFile == COM_getLanguage()) {
                $retval .= ' selected="selected"';
            }
            $retval .= '>' . $langName . '</option>' . LB;
        }
        $retval .= '</select></div></form>';
    }
    return $retval;
}


Create a new block:
From "Admins only" menu select "blocks"
Click on create new
Enter "Language selection" as title and whatever you like for the name
For block content add:
Text Formatted Code
[langsel:]

Tick the box near "Autotags"
Save and logout

Done. You should now have a language selection block for anonymous users.

Hi,

This is also working as a block without the autotag step. I only changed $_USER['uid'] > 1

Text Formatted Code
function phpblock_langsel()
{
    global $_USER, $_CONF, $_SCRIPTS;

    if ($_USER['uid'] > 1 ) {
        $retval = "<a href='" . $_CONF['site_url'] . "/usersettings.php'>Change in profile</a>";
    } else {
        $_SCRIPTS->setJavascript('
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function () {
                    $("#langsel").show().change(function () {
                        var selection = $("#langsel option:selected").val();
                        document.cookie = "' . $_CONF['cookie_language'] . '=" + escape(selection);
                        location.href = "";
                    });
                });
            </script>
        ');
        $language = MBYTE_languageList($_CONF['default_charset']);
        $retval  = '<noscript>This functionality requires JavaScript</noscript>' . LB;
        $retval .= '<form><div><select id="langsel" style="display: none">' . LB;
        foreach ($language as $langFile => $langName) {
            $retval .= '<option value="' . $langFile . '"';
            if ($langFile == COM_getLanguage()) {
                $retval .= ' selected="selected"';
            }
            $retval .= '>' . $langName . '</option>' . LB;
        }
        $retval .= '</select></div></form>';
    }
    return $retval;
}

The solution is in PHP, in fact no one said anything about Java. I mentioned JavaScript, which is a client side scripting language that most modern browsers have built-in, so you don't have to worry about that.

Anyway, read this: http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/20011231130438109
And then use the code from Ben's post.

Ok, so it is an error in my server i think.
i think i know how to create a new php block because i've got a site where it uses more of 100 phpblocks but i'll say you what i did.

1-. Copy and paste the Ben's code in my system/lib-custom.php at the end but before ?>
2-. Create a new block: Title "Language selection" (i think it is no important but i do it), Type phpblock, in options of php block i write "phpblock_langsel" without (). Permisions all checked.
3-. Save

There are some part of code that not work and i don't know why.

1-. I exit of system and visit it like anonymous. (Before i clean cockies in firefox).
2-. Only show the tittle of block (Language selection)

If i delete, in Ben's code, the part
Text Formatted Code
style="display: none"
, my site show the box with languages. Only two (Spanish and English). That's wright because i only have these languages in my languages directory.

But i switch languages in box and it do nothing.

My site, under construction, www.lawebdelcamping.com
thanks for all.

OK, i can see the problem on your site, you are missing jQuery.

Please put back:
Text Formatted Code
style="display: none"


And include jQuery:
Text Formatted Code
function phpblock_langsel()
{
    global $_USER, $_CONF, $_SCRIPTS;

    if ($_USER['uid'] > 1 ) {
        $retval = "<a href='" . $_CONF['site_url'] . "/usersettings.php'>Change in profile</a>";
    } else {
        $_SCRIPTS->setJavascriptLibrary('jquery'); // Add this line
        $_SCRIPTS->setJavascript('
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function () {
                    $("#langsel").show().change(function () {
                        var selection = $("#langsel option:selected").val();
                        document.cookie = "' . $_CONF['cookie_language'] . '=" + escape(selection);
                        location.href = "";
                    });
                });
            </script>
        ');
        // etc...

Try this code below as jQuery library is not set on new install. Do not remove the display: none, It must be working (see demo here).

Text Formatted Code

function phpblock_langsel()
{
    global $_USER, $_CONF, $_SCRIPTS;

    $_SCRIPTS->setJavaScriptLibrary('jquery');

    if ($_USER['uid'] > 1 ) {
        $retval = "<a href='" . $_CONF['site_url'] . "/usersettings.php'>Change in profile</a>";
    } else {
        $_SCRIPTS->setJavascript('
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function () {
                    $("#langsel").show().change(function () {
                        var selection = $("#langsel option:selected").val();
                        document.cookie = "' . $_CONF['cookie_language'] . '=" + escape(selection);
                        location.href = "";
                    });
                });
            </script>
        ');
        $language = MBYTE_languageList($_CONF['default_charset']);
        $retval  = '<noscript>This functionality requires JavaScript</noscript>' . LB;
        $retval .= '<form><div><select id="langsel" style="display: none">' . LB;
        foreach ($language as $langFile => $langName) {
            $retval .= '<option value="' . $langFile . '"';
            if ($langFile == COM_getLanguage()) {
                $retval .= ' selected="selected"';
            }
            $retval .= '>' . $langName . '</option>' . LB;
        }
        $retval .= '</select></div></form>';
    }
    return $retval;
}

I've created an improved solution for this issue.
The new solution also works without JavaScript and for logged-in users.
