you hire a decent translation service w/knowledge of your "domain". knowing a language isn't often good enough, you need folks who understand the subject matter too. and by "translation service" i mean human beings. > Also, if the text that you're translating isn't stored in the > database, do you use cookies or someway to redirect and keep those it's not standard practice to store this sort of stuff in a db (unless you're talking about something driven by a CMS) as you need a good "eco-system" to manage translations, etc. resource bundles (rb) are the usual method for handling this. > preferences for people that choose a different language?

IE: amenities/index.cfm, amenities/ this can be handled several ways. you could maintain one set of code that simply substitutes localized text based on the user's locale. the rb can be stuffed in the app scope & then dished out as needed. this simplifies management a great deal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:248927 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
