Hi,

We're about to develop an Oracle 8i database. Because it's for multiple countries (Poland,US, Germany,Greece,Tsjech, ..) text should be available in different languages, e.g. a product discription. Because it's an internet-application, text would be put in by a webbrowser. How do we setup such a database, what type of columns do we have to use ? Can Oracle store different 'languages' into the same database ? Are there any pitfalls ? Any Tricks ?

Does anyone has some suggestions ? Or maybe links to some webpages for info or books ?

Any help is greatly appriciated.
