How do u want me to create the database?
I was thinking in creating a main table with a row for each package each package with an unique ID, and 1 aditional table with all the translated strings from all the languages for package. Each row would have the package unique ID and another unique ID inside that language so we can know which translation corresponds to which original string.
What do u think?
