Do you guys think internationalization should only done at the code level or should it be done in the database as well.
Are there any design patterns or accepted practices for internationalizing databases?
If you think it’s a code problem then do you just use Resource files to look up a key returned from the database?
Thanks
Internationalization extends to the database insofar as your columns will be able to hold the data. NText, NChar, NVarchar instead of Text, Char, Varchar.
As far as your UI goes, for non-changing labels, resources files are a good method to use.
