I would try a hash.

For example:

my @lang_array = ["english","spanish", "portuguese"];

my %language_hash;

$language_hash{english} = { 
                            "color" => "red",
                            "language" => "English",
                          };
$language_hash{spanish} = {
                            "color" => "rojo",
                            "language" => "Espanol",        
                          };

#Code to choose language from array;

my $chosen_language = $lang_array[number_of_chosen_language];

anyhow to access what you need you have only to do:

$returned_color = $language_hash{$chosen_language}{color};

to get back red for English or rojo for Spanish, or

$return_language = $language_hash{$chosen_language}{language};

to get English for English, and Espanol for Spanish. You CAN do a array of arrays, but that IMO tends to get confusing quick. The example I have just given is untested but it should work and there are less wordy ways of initializing the above hash, but that is something I would take some time to read up on, as they are pretty useful once you get the hang of them (hashes I mean).
