I need to make my app multi-language. Now, for the static part this is easy (resources). But now the data. Database wise I'd think is should be 1 to n relationship between say product and productnamesanddescriptions. But this has a huge impact on the UI and databindnig (that now is binding to the name-property which is going to be moved to this new table in several languages). Any ideas on how to best tackle this challenge.
I figures I can create a name property (and a description property and all properties that are strings that need translation) on my product and then in the getter use some business-logic to retrieve the appropriate name/description (based on

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.

Anyways, Any feedback would be awesome.
 
Thanks

The approach you describe seems reasonable to us.
