We do it by having a content table with a language field. So you simply have to do.
Select * from contentItems where language= '#session.language#' The site itself is split into separate folders for each language, so we just dump the /english version into /french folder and translate menus etc, the rest is automatic. The alternate to have separate versions of the layout, is to us evariables to store everything, all the menu texts etc. Russ Michaels Macromedia/Allaire Certified ColdFusion Developer CFMX Hosting Phone: 0845 456 3487 Tech Support: 0906 9607800 FAX: 0709 2212 636 WEB: cfmxhosting.co.uk >Please use the support helpdesk on our web site to submit support tickets.< Join our ColdFusion Developer discussion lists.
