Has anyone here done a project for multiple languages ? I am looking to
build an application which can be displayed in 3 other languages (along with
English). One of these is Japanese. Can you please confirm that CCS does
support the double byte character set ?
Has anyone done an application in CCS which uses multiple foreign languages
? I was thinking about trying to use a session variable which defines the
language for that user, then changes all of the labels and text to the
correct language.
I am thinking the table would look something like :
lang_id label_id text_value
english 102 Good Day
french 102 Bon Jour
The lang_id sets the language for the label, the label_id defines the label
this applies to and the text_value is what the label should say when
rendered.
Assuming this is a good approach, how do I set the label for each page ? My
first guess is to use the CCDLookup to a database, but this would mean a lot
of database activity to render a single page. This does not seem very
efficient. I think codecharge studio uses an XML file for labels, but I have
no idea how to do this in ASP.
Many Thanks

Hi David,
Why don't use another structure like this instead:
label_id text_value_UK Text_value_FR Text_value_JP
102 Good Morning Bon Jour Bla bla bla
and so on.

I think that with his approach he can have unlimited languages in the future
without changing the table structure. With the approach below, you would
have to add a column when you add a language.

Maybe because I always think twice before using a database I would do this
differently. I would make separate php files for every language. Every file
would contain same set of constant declarations. For example:
lang_en.php
define ('SITE_WELCOME', 'Welcome back!');
.
lang_sr.php
define ('SITE_WELCOME', 'Dobrodosli!');
.
Than I would simply include an appropriate lang file. Just an idea
