I’m working with MVC3 and EF4. I would like to create a multilingual FAQ

  • 0

I’m working with MVC3 and EF4. I would like to create a multilingual FAQ functionality. I need to be able to somehow group these entries via groupId (So that I know that this question is the same question -just in different language). So for example I may have the same FAQ question and answer in different languages.

so having this table I would add a GroupId field, but how I make it so that I know that “this” entry belongs to this GroupId.

enter image description here

What’s the best way to achieve this?? What’s the best approach, most efficient.
thanks

    Seems like you already have this feature in your current table. Use FaqId as your GroupId. Don’t make the FaqId autogenerated and make FaqId + LanguageId your composite primary key. In such case your FaqId will point to all language mutations of a single question.

    You can also do some normalization of your table. You can divide it into Faq (FaqId (PK), LoginId, IsActive, CreateDate) and FaqLocalization (FaqId (FK,PK), LanguageId (PK), Question, Answer). Selection of columns for these normalized tables depends on your further requirements. Once you have this normalization you can also modify FaqLocalization table and remove composite PK and add new LocalizationId(PK). FaqId (FK) will be your GroupId.
