It depends.

- Following a negative sentence it is "non plus" (I think it is an adverb)

I"ve never done that, I haven't either

Je n'ai jamais fais cela, moi non plus.

Either .. or .. (conjonction of coordination)

"Soit ..soit" or "ou ...ou" or " soit ..ou"

You can have either red wine or water. Tu peux boire soit du vin rouge soit de l'eau.

Either as an adjective (= each or both)

"chaque" - on either side : de chaque côté.

_____________________________

Generally I think this is a great and surprisingly thorough answer... my one issue is with the first section. Technically, "non plus" means "neither". So "Moi non plus" is really "I neither", or "Nor I". Which, to this author's credit, can be cleverly substituted with "I [negative verb form] either". A minor point, but an important distinction I think.

在法语中,“either”可以翻译为“soit”。例如,“Either you come or you don't”可以翻译为“Soit tu viens, soit tu ne viens pas”。
