I've never actually done this myself, but from what I understand from
sites I've worked with that are multi lingual, the core concept is
having a language file, and inside the templates where the text needs
to go, the variable placeholders would go there instead.
Then, in the code where they would select the language, depending on
that decision, it pulls from the appropriate language file, replacing
all the text elements with the text in the appropriate language.
There's probably dozens of ways to accomplish this, depending on how
elaborate the site is.
Someone can probably give more details on how to make it work, but
that's the gist of how it works in a nutshell.
