I think there are three seperate problems here:

- How to manage multiple languages in a site?
- How to detect what language the client wants?
- How to store UTF-8 data in a database or file system?

For the first one, I'm not even going to try to answer it, too
complicated, too many ways to do it, too much depends you & your
situation. There isn't really one "correct solution" as far as I know.

For the second one - why not look at that "Accept-Language" HTTP
header that the browser sends on each request, then treat it just like
a URL variable?

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html (spec)
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html (Apache's implementation)

As for the last one - you're going to have to sort this out before you
can deal with the first two, but it really comes down the database
that you are using. Maybe you could give us some more information on
the DB and the exact problem you are having?


Cheers
