Hi there,

I've currently developed a pretty decent and flexible data-driven survey system using SQL Server 2000 on the backend. Currently it only supports one language per survey. Now I'm being asked to provide Spanish versions for surveys so I'd like to get some feedback on how to best factor in that requirement to my current database design. Ideally the architecture should be flexible enough to allow any number of languages and yet still perform well.

Any advice and/or recommendations would be helpful. As well as any links to pages on the web that address this type of thing.

Thanks - wg
