I think I can use XML to store language specific content as XML is much faster than Database.

It would be better if you can tell me how to parse the JSON in asp which is lightweight and parsing should be easy in it.

Do you want to literally translate the page on the fly or do you want to have two versions of the page and serve up the appropriate language's content?

If you will have the content pre-translated, you may want to place the content in your HTML into two separate DIVs and merely display the DIV that contains the user's preferred language.

For example,
If the page defaults to English and it has a "En Espanol" link/button, you run some simple javascript that hides the <div id="english"> and displays the <div id="spanish">

function swapLangauge(lang) {
  if (lang=='spanish'){
    document.getElementById('english').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('spanish').style.display = 'block';
  } else {
    document.getElementById('spanish').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('english').style.display = 'block';
  }
}
