android - The way to change database helper to support multiple languages? -


this dbhelper code. want ask whether possible support multiple language in database? there need use google translate api or should create database language?

private databasehelper dbhelper; private sqlitedatabase db;  private static final string k_id = "id"; private static final string k_name = "name"; private static final string k_ben = "benefit"; private static final string table = "plant";  private static class databasehelper extends sqliteopenhelper {     databasehelper(context context) {         super(context, "dbplant", null, 1);     }      public void oncreate(sqlitedatabase db) {          string sql = "create table " + table + " (" + k_id                 + " integer primary key ," + k_name + " text , " + k_ben                 + " text);";

}

yes can use same database sqlite stores text data unicode, using unicode encoding specified when database created. database driver takes care return data unicode string in encoding used language/platform.

internally sqlite encodes strings either in utf-8 or utf-16 (there per-database option), since converts them needed (to 1 or other comparison , to/from java.lang.string in api), don't need care.

in database table can add different columns language strings different languages , fetch data particular column only.

on app can provide option user change language. @ time can change column according chosen language , add/edit action on column only.
