Hi folks I am developing an applications that is eventually going to required support for multiple languages. I'm new to I18N, etc, and have a question I'm hoping somebody gave help with. Based on what I'm reading in the CFWACK books and by various posting on Paul Hastings blogs and articles on Adobe's web site, using Resource Bundles is the way to go. My question is this - I have a navigation menu of about 7 options and I store the text of those options in a database. Why should I use resource bundles instead of just adding a locale field to the database and querying based on the user's locale? It seems this technique could be used for just about anything, table headers, menu's, etc. and would be easier to use and implement. Does everyone use resource bundles for this type of stuff, and what troubles would I eventually encounter if I just stored everything in a db and queried based on locale to get the correct text? Thanks in advance. --- ---
