This looks soluable several ways.
Question #1: If each record has 67 fields, and each field may appear in
several languages, is it possible for some fields to be in more languages
than others? I.e. if "title-en" and "title-de" exist, does it follow that
"content-en" and "content-de" exist as well? Or not?
Question #2: Does your XML schema allow locall defined attributes? That is,
do some records have entire attributes ("fields" ) that other records do not?
Suggestion #1: Joe Celko's "SQL for Smarties, 2nd Ed." is an excellent book
for giving you ideas on how to adapt SQL structures to odd purposes.
