I've just been doing similar... I have different tables for each language.
The site administrators can edit these in the CMS -- they are set up on a
permissions basis to access content in certain languages.

When a user visits the site a session variable is set up called session.lang
defaulted to "" which retrieves content from a table "tableName" -- then if
they choose Swedish for example it is set to "sv_" -- this will then
retrieve content from sv_tableName through dynamic query.

This is handy in this instance as there is a pile of textual content on this
site. Have other people done this or are there more suitable methods as I
have several languages to go yet!
