Repository model with support for multiple languages

Is there a recommended technique to model the storage of a Jazz component in a way that a single repository can support multiple languages? Our persisted data is separated in 2 parts: model (objects and their relationships) and content (textual properties of the objects), and the content must be translated in in different languages. In other words, we would have many contents, one for each language, that are sharing the same model. Depending on the locale setting of the logged-on user, content is user's locale will be served to the user.

Thanks,
Phong.

There isn't a recommended technique of shaping a model that needs to
store data in multiple languages. I imagine that the particular problem
you are facing would shape your requirements, and it sounds like storing
multiple content objects for the various translations might work well
for you.

Thanks Matt. We are planning to use multiple content objects for each model object. At least I got your approval for this approach ;-).
