First, I tried to minimize the use of terms with images. Second, I created an application level variable for all terms that needed to be translated, including for javascript alerts. The data is stored in a table, so can be updated (either automatically, when the application variable times out, or manully). I then created custom tag that queries the application data depending on the language setting - this adds some processing overhead, but works for me. Now, I have multiple languages, and users can add new languages, hence this approach. You could make it a bit simpler - just create a application level structure with terms, and create a variable as a language extension, for example, "_en" or "_sp"....I also use unicode as per other suggestions.
