Tony, What we did was using XML, and parse that XML on the first startup into the application scope. After that all translations were available with #request.language.uk.mylabel#.
If you want to add categorization to it, simply nest, and the call would become. #request.language.uk.dialogs.mylabel# ASP.NET uses a similair system, only called within the scope "resources".
