Have kept this posting from CF-Talk for when I get round to doing our
site -- may be of some use to you.

===start=====

I originally thought a db was necessary but was talked out of it when I
saw this method in action:  Store a language set in name/value pairs in
a text file, one set per language, like this:

GoodMorning=Good Morning
GoodDay=Good Day
Goodbye=Goodbye

GoodMorning=Guten Morgen
GoodDay=Guten Tag
Goodbye=Auf Wiedersehen

Then read the file in via cffile as a structure on page load.  All of
the stock text on your page is the structure's output.

This works blazing fast.  I was really surprised to see how fast.  In
some cases 10ms or less to pull in a template's text.

There's a lot more to this, like the exact retrieval code, mechanics of
storage and allowance to automatically switch from one language to
another with a click.  Let me know if you want the gory details and I'll
put up something more substantial.

Happy Friday,
