Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with building large
scale multi-language websites with PHP/MySQL? The plan is to have
the core site created in English and then translators can login to
create the various language versions (we'll have 6 languages to
start with including Japanese). Content will be pure text (no
HTML), stored in a MySQL 4.1 database with appropriate caching for
display.

I'm interested in knowing of any problems I should be looking out
for while designing this - what happens to Japanese characters for
example when stored in a MySQL text field? Any issues re:
displaying them again once extracted? Or on validating foreign
data input on web forms?

Best regards,

Richard Davey
