What are some multi language database design patters?

Asked By Jolene B Just 40 points N/A Posted on - 04/21/2013

Hallo Experts!

I am building a multi language website for some medical products. I would like to have the application detect location and give a language that suits the location and show database contents in the detected language. The user has an option to change the language at the top of the website. What are some of the multi language database design patterns that I can employ to have my website working efficiently?

What are some multi language database design patters?

First of all, which programming language or method did you use on building your website? This is actually called as Internalization and Localization. And there are many things to consider before proceeding such as the characters that you will encode for all languages. Probably, you can use the ICU library for these. And this is best when you are using Java. To know more about ICU, click on the link below:
