There is a book (available from Amazon) I've found helpful titled "Beyond Borders: Web Globalization Strategies" by John Yunker, C. 2003. http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Borders-Web-Globalization-Strategies/dp/0735712085/sr=8-9/qid=1166544689/ref=pd_bbs_9/103-3373738-5589413?ie=UTF8&s=books
Hope it helps, I'm interested to read other posts on this topic. Chris Block Global Web Producer Cummins Power Generation 1400 73rd Avenue N.E.

Is it better to create two separate directories with the pages and images duplicated for each language, or is it best to try a database solution using meta tags that will be replaced on the server depending on the language selected? Maybe there is another approach all together? I would think the database solution would be more flexible but could get out of hand quickly just with the number of meta tags required. The web site I am concerned about has to support 2 languages only (French/English). Any comments are appreciated.
