What is the best way to store multiple language versions of a website?

Question

My website (on Linux servers) must support multiple languages.
What is the best practice for storing / storing versions of multiple languages ​​on one site?
Some I can think of:

• save to DB
• a different view file for each language
• gettex
• hard-coded words in PHP files (e.g. phpBB)

With websites, you really have several categories of content to localize:

• Content elements such as articles that you in many cases created, edited, and published to the CMS.
• , ( ), tagline, blurb, , , . (, , , : , ).
• , " , ", "...", .., . .
