I am making a site for a company, and they require both French and English languages.
I have a few theoretical questions to help me guide my development. The clientelle is mostly in remote areas where 56k dial-up is still prevalent, thus small download size/re-usability of material is key.
I plan on having the header and footer separate from content section on the pages, thus once header and footer are loaded, they are just re-used from user cache.
my main question is, should I have languages stored in a db and use session variables? (I suspect this to be the slowest) or in a language file and use the URI with language class?
Also, If I autoload the language file, does that mean it will be stored locally thus keeping bandwidth usage to a minimum?
