Then set the variable lang same as you do now .. then code the links as
index.cfm?fuseaction=whatever&lang=#session.lang#
and in your application.cfm check for the existence of the lang in the url
and set it as session.lang if it exists otherwise go to a default.
That is the only way I can think of that will allow for the user to bookmark
a specific area and not have to worry about cookies or session timeouts
while still keeping their language selection.
Anytime you include a static page it is faster than hitting the database
plain and simple. But if you have a design change you must replicate that
design change in every file that is included. If you use the database you
only need to make the design change once and it appears for all languages.

Yes, but is too bad thinking about language in every page when i can have a
client/session/cookie variable that i can use in any page. I think in set a
flag when user had choosed the prefered language that i can use on any page
and i must not think in pass language into URL.
I'm thinking in that, i don't know if we can find a perfect solution.

I think is too slow put all labels into a database and make many querys to
retrive them.
I think is faster and better have the labels used into a template in a lng_
file with <cfset..
Isn't it?
