Structure... use a structure... much better to have
application.languages.fr["stringname"]
than to have
application.languages[2]["stringname"]
or even
application.languages[fr]["stringname"]
either of the latter will at some point be more problematic than using
a structure.
I'd recommend wrapping the reference to the application variable in a
function call also...
as an example:
function getText(stringname) {
return application.languages[session.language][stringname];
}
Or throw that into a CFC that can be used for display on every page:
<cfset lang = application.lang>
<cfoutput>#lang.getText("stringname")#</cfoutput>
