We did one using the following method.

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#'

Subject: [ cf-dev ] Multi-Lingual Strategies


Anyone got any real good references or examples of using multi-lingual
content with a site?  i.e. storing in a DB and using one page to display
the data depending on user selection. We are about to move away from a
current system and would like to see what everyone else is doing ;-)
