A lot! In the Microsoft Access version of the language database you are limited only by the number of columns that a table can contain. Access 97 / 2000 / 2002 permit 255 columns per table. There are four columns that are always present so that leaves you 251 columns that you can use to store 251 different languages in a single language database. Actually, you would probably want to use multiple language databases long before you reached this limit simply because of the size of the language database. In theory there is no limit (other than disk space) to the number of languages that can be stored in the text version of a language database (Pro version only).
