Well, with something like this, I would expect to keep the client's design
on my end as well, which I'm really trying not to work with throughout the
site.

I couldn't agree more, but that's the dilemma
The reason I feel the sync would get ugly is because I'll be splitting
tables into 2 or 3 tables. So should they make a change to the data, I'll
need to create a means for each record to know where it came from. My table
will have Id's that have nothing to do with their data. Which brings me to
the finale...

Indeed absolutely. The more I think about it, the more obvious it gets.
Put the work into the translation, keep the site clean and neat.
Again, thank you all...
And good morning.
