hi,
we're building a cakephp application where we need (beside normal l10n
functionality for static site texts) the possibility to store and
display database fields according to users language

E.g. customers should be able to store their shipping terms in several
languages. According to wich language a site user is logged in these
terms should be displayed.

Because we don't know how many languages a user needs I thought about
creating a language table to every table that holds user texts. The
normal table always only holds the base language.

So let's say theres the user table 'userdata' with fields

id
name
address
shipping_terms

and the language table 'userdata_lng' with

id (same id as in base table)
language (language code)
shipping_terms (translated text)

So how do I make my application with least programmming effort to
store and display the fields according to user language?

We thought about putting the logic into the model to be able to use
normal save/retrieve controller methods but that would mean to
overwrite every single retrieve/save method right?

Is there mayba a simpler or more elegant solution to the problem? ;)

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Ralf
