create table text
(
id integer primary key,
type_id integer,
reference_id integer,
language_code char(2),
value varchar(255)
);

create table recipe
(
id integer primary key
);

As for objects, I currently have:

@Entity
@Table(name="text")
class LocalizedText
{
int textType;
@Id
int id;
int reference_id;
String languageCode;
String value;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="recipe")
class Recipe
{
@Id
int id;

@OneToMany(targetEntity=LocalizedText)
@JoinColumn(name="reference_id", insertable=false, updatable=false)
@Cascade(CascadeType.ORPHAN)
@Where(type_id=1)
@MapKey(name="language_code")
Map<String, LocalizedText>name;
}

public class Text
{
...
...
int typeId;
int referenceId;
Map<String, LocalizedText>values;
public toString(String languageCode)
{
return values.get(languageCode);
}

public class Recipe
{
int id;
Text name;
Text description;
Text instructions;
}

public class Ingredient
{
int id;
Text name;
}
