I've been thinking on this subject for two days now. I've decided, I'm going with a mixed solution. On one side, my static content is going to be stored in arrays. It's a fairly low amount of strings, so it should be fairly maintainable. If the amount ever increases I can always switch over to gettext, which I have been unable to get to work with CakePHP. On the other side, a big part of the site's content is editable through a hand crafted cms, and the client needs to enter most of this information in several languages. This leads me to store these strings in a translations table in my database. However, I'm still unsure about the exact structure of my data. Consider this a rant.

This site is getting interesting. I'll be writing a little guide for my upcoming weblog.
