Your fastest solution?????????
Probablyu to create a structure within which you populate the language
translations.
I've worked on multi-lingual apps before, where each phrase was given a
'key'. This key was used to select the language necessary. If you are
looking for massive performance, then I would suggest a structure stored
on the server.
This structure would be built in your application.cfm with a check to see
if the structure already exists. Any page would deliver output using the
reference to the key.
Another option:
You should consider creating a tag that takes a phrase and looks up the
phrase (with a language attribute) for you. If it does not find it, it
inserts the phrase into the table and flags it as needing translation.
This could simplify your code i.e.
<cf_lang>Yes Yes Yes</cf_lang> would come out Nein Nein Nein (if the
language was german) and if the translation was not found would
append/prepend {} to it to indicate translation being needed.
Of course you would have to set up one for images as well!
Hope that helps.

Subject: big translation
Hi guys,
I work in a Internet company (startup?) and we have +-600 CFM files (some
with fusebox).
Now, we are thinking to switch the website in 2+ languages (we are in
Europe) but we don't know what is the best
way to do this. I mean, something with few performance penalties and
flexible enough to have several languages later (at beggining we only want
2 languages)
some questions:
- May I use BD to choose and retrieve all the text messages ?
- May I enhance the pages with more intelligente in order to they can
translate in each web request ?
- what about to copy and translate each page in a off-line mode ?
Anyone has some experience in this matter?
Do you know links or URL about ?
Any help is useful... (i want to make the rigth decision)
thanks in advance,
~Juandres
