Use two tables (all in UTF8, if you're sure your front-end handles this), the first holding the general product information like code and price, and then the other one holding a record for each language, with the code (as a relation to the other table with general information), the language, and the description in that language.

Hi!

I would like to store the title and description of a
product in different languages.  Should I use unicode
(UTF-8) to store the different languages in one
database, or I should initialize different databases
for the different languages?  I appreciate if someone
can give me some suggestions and what I should aware
of.  I have use the keyword "multilingual" to search
the achrieves but cannot find an answer.
