Here's a simplified approach:

Have a database table with columns ID, English, and Tamil. The language columns have the text for a certain spot. Then, just populate it with stuff, like a label, a paragraph, etc. Then, instead of having static text in a spot, call the database and extract the right column, depending on the language chosen by the user.
