Concerning Multi-language web site, can some of you give your experience on how to build such a site (for exemple a site in english, french, german). Which solution do you prefer to translate the content: Using structures in session variables, parts of text translated into fusebox-files, conditions on the current language directly in the display files or translations stored in an appropriated table .... ? Thank you in advance, Laure

You could do the query to fill the sess ion only if the session variable does not exist, so not at every page. -----Original Message----- From: list peters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 10:28 To: CF-Talk Subject: session vs request hi, I am trying to decide the best way to deploy an application.. background: multi-language site. Page content pulled from database. I originally ha d all "static" text (such as headings) wrapped in a cfif tag. This got rea lly hard to deal with, and wasnt very clean code. solution: at the start of a session load in all language variables (about a hundred ) once into a STRUCTURE, and use it throughout the application. problem: I have to lock the hundred or more session variables. This would mean lo cks everywhere. alternative: as has been suggested on this list, copy the variables into the request scope and use that instead. No locking all over the place. problem: i have to do a query for the hundred or so variables every page request. Which one?: Is it better to have locks all over the place (which is what i wanted to get away from - extra code that returns me to the original problem of wrappin g everything in cfif tags) Or to not use session variables and transfer everything into the request scope. No locking, but a query at the beggining of every page call. I would like to optimise for the speed of the application, and the speed of coding. thanks for your help chad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
