在数据库上使用多语言数据的最佳方法

Question

What is the best way for having multi-language data on Database.

I want to provide data of cities and the rules is title can't be null (if we add new language, we will provide translate of it too)

Look at image please, part B is easily to provide, edit and load But I don't know part B works fine for big data or not

Answer 1

Will you ever possibly have a situation where a new language is phased in? There are a lot of advantages to a design similar to A but with a fallback/default language in the main table.

This then means that the new language can be added into the auxiliary table and be immediately "usable" even if only half of the translations are available yet.

It also means that a new language doesn't require schema changes.
