Anyone here ever tried to build a multi-lingual website?

Me neither. But I began that process last week and I'm having to consider the ramifications of it this week. This particular site is already 90% database driven but adding in multi-lingual support is becoming a major challenge in trans-dimensional thinking. With more than 300 sections to the main site and over 100 sub-level departments and sections making this kind of change is huge.

In one instance, I've combined translation tables and translation arrays with language flags to determine if a page is available in another language and, depending on the language requested, return an entirely different site.

I'm also trying my hardest to remember those spanish classes I took back in high school...
