Multi-Language Translations and Custom Fields

We need to create some custom fields for our eCommerce site to drive different content experiences.  Our site utilizes NetSuite's multi-language features for translation.

When we create a new custom field, the only translation you get is the label.  We need to create content for each language for our custom field.

We see two approaches to solve this:

1.  Create multiple fields for each language: we create a field naming convention that helps us figure out which language we are referencing.

2.  We create a custom translation table to hold all of our custom fields. Each row in the table represents a specific language and each column represents a custom field.
