I worked with a developer in california, and all info was kept in the database as far as language. He had simply set-up different queries to run based on language preference <cfif language = "chinese"><cfinclude template="qry_chinese.cfm"></cfif><cfelse blah blah> he was using a scaled down fusebox method. The only problem was the actual languages. IE: spanish is written backwards as far as sentences are concerned, and so you cannot simply use translation of words for your sentences etc.
