International web site architecture?

I have to create international web site, which define content and
functionality per country and have to be localized in different languages.
/ASP.NET/



Something like:

http://www.harley-davidson.com

http://www.volvocars.com/

http://www.dell.com



For example it must be possible to select country and after that to choose
on which languages to be presented the information.

I'm thinking to use the satellites assemblies for localization.



I'd like to ask for some web site architectural ideas, suggestion, tips or
comments.



How to organize the directory structure? (Do I have to put .aspx files in a
different subdirectories or it is better to have one page that maintain all
country/language scenarios.)



How to reduce the redundancy of functional code?



Is there some resources (articles, guide.) that can you suggest me about
creating a big enterprise web sites?



Will appreciate all kinds of feedbacks.

Thanks
 
I've never done anything like that, but my gut reaction is to create ONE
website.. have the user store a locale code. and I would use that locale to
display the correct images - like /images/EN-US/top.gif

As for content, I would probably do the same thing, for chunks of code..
/content/EN-US/missionstatement.html - and programmatically insert them in
the page... I dunno..
