instantaneous language translator


I am developing a new application for iPhone, the app must support two languages: French and Flemish.

If i will be implementing my database and store the same data on the two language, that will be a data redundancy issues which is not the aim of the database. right?

So, i am thinking about an instantaneous translator, for example, the default language and data on the DB are on French, if the user choose the Flamand language, all the data retrieved from the database (in French) will be translated in Flamand before being shown to the user.

Is this a good way, if yes, is there a translator on iOS SDK? is it the optimal solution?

Waiting for your suggestions. Thanx in advance.

  • To add to Dr.Kameleon's answer, I'd advise you to store both languages in your database. The same content in 2 languages is different content. But I'd also advise you to have a proper, manual translation, and not use automated translation for any professional grade app.
