The ideal way to do it is to use localization. You create a resource file (xml based) with key value pairs for each language and then use these for the text in your app..
You have to make the data type in the database Unicode NChar, NVarchar and NText, the former are limted to 4000 while the later can grow to 2gig. Try the links below for sample code and a toolkit to get started. Hope this helps.
