I am creating a second forum with a separate database for a second language now. In the future I plan to build a plugin for internationalization that will allow a single vB installation to provide for many languages. When I have completed that plugin I will need to import this second language forum into the original forum. I assume that the best way to do this would be with a modified version of ImpEx. Is this correct?

What actions can I take now that will keep the complexity of the future import to a minimum?

Do you think it is a good idea to begin the second forum with a copy of the existing database so that future overlap of usernames is minimized? If I do this then I need to delete all threads, which will be extremely server intensive. Deleting just 2000 threads took 15 minutes. With a thread count a thousand times larger than that it's going to take more than 10 days to delete them all. Any ideas on how to accelerate this?

Is this the best way to go about this? Are there any other things I should consider?
