Comment Multilingual web site (Score 1) 189
I had a similar problem a few months ago while designing a servlet based website. The solution I found was to use a preffix based language search.
For example, say you connect as a french user. One of the parameters you'll send to the client is 'language=fr'. Server side, any language dependent picture is prefixxed with 'fr_', and any text was looked up in the 'FR_TEXT' database. Of course, you'll probably need to fine-grain it if you don't want to have redundant pictures (my understanding is that an arrow looks exactly the same whatever the language...).
