I cry and hope it magically happens while I'm not looking. But seriously I have not really addressed i18n in my apps yet. I would say how you go about it is going to depend at least a bit on your framework/programming language. I'm using Ruby on Rails for my apps so I would probably just follow the generally accepted RoR best-practices on 18n which dictates using the file system and YAML translation files based on keys that you use in your app (at least the last time I looked that was the best practice).
