Multilingual Solution

[Rich_Willmore]

One of our customer's sites is about to go down the path of offering up 5-6
additional languages for all content. We have a DB solution for the managed
content but my question is what approach would be best for the insignificant
text on each of the CFM pages (i.e. Non-DB text, 'Back to Top'). We have to
assume that whatever solution is chosen it should be able to handle a vast
amount of requests per second.

One approach we are considering is each page will be accompanied by an XML
document which stores all the language specific content on the page
(english.xml, spanish.xml, etc...). However, would there be a performance
issue with CFFILE loading the XML document every time?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

the normal approach to this is resource bundles (rb). you can read more [url]http://www.sustainablegis.com/blog/cfg11n/index.cfm?mode=cat&catid=6D990B76-50FC-543B-1FA4AB2B1CE26EFC[/url].
