GACing may not be possible, because once I release the application, most users will not have access to enable this, I can do it, but I have physical access to the server, most clients don't.
I'm inclined at this point to make the hard decision to use a database for the language changer feature, god damn it, why can't I use a standart ASP file full of Consts and one language file per language supported?

Humm, I'm now down to this options, and I should start on a solution tommorrow:
1. Use a database :: I don't like this too much for this task.
2. Use application variables :: Again, not one of my prefered options.
3. Use the dictionary object :: Still haven't persued this too much, I think it uses the Index service if I'm not mistaken and haven't read enough about this to determind it's pros and cons to use it as a site wide language storage.
4. Use XML files :: So far this is the best option, however there's still a few things I don't know, show I use XMLDOM or XMLHTTP object? Which one is best for this task? Are this objects available in the majority of hosts?
Thx.

99.9% of hosts will have XMLDOM, some (crap) hosts may disable XMLHTTP...
XMLHTTP is used for downloading documents from other websites so I
imagine this will not help you much in langauge files, I thiunk XMLDOM
is what you want if you want to parse Xml documents, as I say, you
should have no problem using XMLDOM on most hosts.

Great, I'm already busy XMLing full steam ahead, and so far so good, there's still some concurrency issues, well, maybe not issues, just concerns at this point.
1. How does XML fare when there's several users accessing it simultaneousy?
2. Or, shouldn't I lock the file while reading with (xmlDoc.Async = False)?
3. Are there other issues I should be aware off?
Last thing I want is to go with all this work ahead of converting my project to XML site wide language files and then there's problems when app goes live and it can't be used.
Thanks guys.
