I had the same problem in my last project, a multilanguage product katalog: http://www.shop.werit.eu
My solution was like langdon proposed: a table called languages which keeps all translated strings and hold a reference to the related record: - id - object_id (foreign object) - lang (de/en/fr) - type (product / category /page .. of the foreign object) - name (holding product name) - description (product description) the selected language is kept in the session, and the strings for buttons / static texts are in php language files within constant defines. the downside of this pattern is that when using internal cake relations there is a big overhead in sql calls, so i wrote custom finder methods for each related model (products/categories/..) to findAllWithLanguage in one sql call. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
