what is the best way to implement different language on one site?
Lets say i need to switch between EN and GE languages.
Some link, or example, suggestion... smth, would be nice :-)
Thanks in advance.
The question is really about the mechanism it self.
What is the best way, to get the language words from DB, or XML file?
Some url to article would be great!
For our own testing, I fould flat files to be faster in most cases. However, depending on your DB, you can used cached queries for better performance.
Im going crazy...
So in your opinion, you would prefer to store language words in DB rather than in XML or flat file? :-)
In my testing on my system I found that in general reading a small flat file took less time than the call to open the DB connection and read the data. Larger sets of data may perform differently. Different DBs may provide different results. Different programming languages may provide different results. You'll need to do your own testing to see which is more efficient for your own purposes on your own system.
I am not aware of any books or tutorials- I learned by trial and error.

I hope this is not off the topic, but assuming you do it from a DB, how would your DB structure be. I have done this before but how would you ensure when another language is to be added, it won't be a great pain.
