Hi,
please help. I need some advice how to design my application to be
multilingual and simply extensible for further. Any advice will be
very appreciated.

A have two tables:
USER(username varchar(20), password varchar(20), name varchar(20));
GROUP(name varchar(20), description varchar(100));

With first one is all fine, but with [GROUP] column [description] -
there could be only in one language. I gues adding new table

GROUP_ALT_LANG(FK varchar(20), language varchar(100));
is quite uneffective?

How it is usualy solved in enterprise applications?

Thanx for any help.
