I think it's important that they have the same articleID cause when you go
from a page in a language to another language you want to stay on the same
page..


Don't you hate site that return you to the root but in the other language?

If you look at the following example website

http://www.allwalesunit.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5

and click on the Cymraeg link at the top of the page, which loads up the
Welsh translation of the site.

If you hold the cursor over the link you will see

http://www.allwalesunit.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5&ArticleAction=langu
age and vice verser from welsh to english.

Any ideas on what relationship the  &ArticleAction=language parameter is
doing to perform the translation ?

As each article whether it is English or Welsh has the same articleid
???

Any ideas ?

Depends on your requirements (or the clients!)
1) Content library, this should be a  content item and assigned either
to multiple languages or a single language (e.g. english and spanish
versions both link to the english download as there is only one...
which we can then separate, or it defaults to english PDF if there is
no spanish version)
2)Depends what files.. if they are site images, then split them up as
images/EN , images/ES etc  have one default language so if you dont
find a resource you can default to the english (for example) so not to
get broken links and errors
3) Accounts.. same repository.. add a preference for language
4) Workflow.. you should have workflow templates that you can use that
are held in the same place.. if you need something special add a
"Workflow for ES content" concept (with the right translation of
course! and make it available to users that are meant to use that
workflow
5) Template Libraries.. I would guess the same here.. are templates
available to all or to only languages? if they are available per
language tag it as so

Hope that helps
