Multilingual Internet Site

Hi All,

I have following requirement:

We have a internet facing publiching site and we wanted to enable multi language support for same. Also we want few pages to be straight forward with about any language code in the url's. - this is possible?

My approcach will be following to enable multi language support for a publishing site.

1. Install and configure language pack's
2. Configure Root variation and other language variations
3. Create Variations
4. Move all static content like (labels, Vaidation messages to resource files
5. Create multiple resource file with respect to each language
6. Deploy the resource to App_GlobalResources
7. SharePoint will take care of picking the valid resource file based on language code coming in URL

So now i wanted to hear for experts, is this the best approach or any other way to support multi language for a publishing site.

Few other questions:

1. In this way is it possible to access few pages with out language code in it and for others with language code?
2. Any other limitations of using variations?
3. Any other considerations?

Thanks

P
