configuration

I'm about to take a look at how to implement internationalisation for an ASP.NET MVC project. I'm looking at how to allow the user to change languages. My initial though is a dropdownlist containing each of the supported langauages. Whoever a few questions have come to mind:

How to store the list of supported languages? (e.g. just "en", "English"; "fr", "French" etc.) An xml file? .config files?
If I store this in a file I'll have to cache this (at startup I guess). So, what would be best, load the xml data into a list (somehow) and store this list in the System.Web.Cache? Application State?
How then to load this data into the view (for display in a dropdown)? Give the view direct access to the cache?

Just want to make sure I'm going in the right direction here...

Thank you.
