OK, what we have is this : a team will enter the text for ALL 3 languages themselves; no on the fly translation required. We have one display page which will check what lang is chosen and display that depending on the linkid etc...
I think I know how we may proceed but just wanted to get a feel for whats out there already. -----Original Message----- From: Snake Hollywood To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08/08/03 23:51 Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Multi-Lingual Strategies Then you will need a magic translator that translated your cfm page to different languages.

I am not sure about this methodology and I am sure it works for you.

Anywhere on the site you can click a language flag, which sets a session var for your desire language. This var just contains the name of the language. Eg session.lang=french We then append this var to any file names, so that the right language file is used. E.g Cfinclude template="filename_#session.lang#.cfm" In the same way you could have all file sin different folders according to language, and us ethe session var to specify a folder name. Same with any data pulled form database Select from content Where (your custom criteria) And language = '#session.lang#' HTH Russ Michaels Macromedia/Allaire Certified ColdFusion Developer Satachi Internet Development Phone: 0870 787 3610 Tech Support: 0906 9607800 FAX: 0709 2212 636 http://www.satachi.com email general: [EMAIL PROTECTED] email support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Join our ColdFusion Developer discussion lists.
