    Linking to Multiple Databases

    I would like to setup a website in 3 different languages. My idea is to have three flags on the homepage and for these to switch between the three databases which would be identical appart from language. Can anyone suggest how I could implemet this please? How could I set this up so that it loads the appropriate language for the country accessing the site? An alternative would be to use three different websites on three different domains. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I created a site with two language (english and spanish) in version 2.2.
    What I did is I added additional fields where ever we store description or titles, like in Product table SpanishName, SpainshShortDescription etc (believe me it is not too many).
    And used a session variable to store the selected lanugage and showed either EnglishName or SpanishName depending upon the session variable
