We're developing a new module to display available jobs/positions.
 
I understand how to use localization to display the "labels", but what is the best method to display the "data" in multiple languages.
 
For Example:  We have two labels and two textboxes for the administrator to enter info about the job. 
 
Job Name:  Programmer
Description: Write and test vb.net code.
 
The labels, "Job Name" & "Description", can be displayed from the values stored in the resx file.  But, what is the best method to provide the administrator with English, Spanish, etc fields for the actual text fields? 
 
I'm guessing that I would add a "language" column to the datatable and store a record for each language.
 
Id
Language
JobName
Description
 
I'd just like to know what others are doing... Thanks.

there are various approaches, depending on your demands and data structure. If you have many numeric fields, you do not need to translate, your approach is not optimal. If you need to store the original language as well, you need a special flag or hierarchical tables (master record & translations). ErikVB provides an API for ML developement, have a look at www.apollo-software.nl
