I am currently working on my own implementation of a MVC framework. I would like to know how to add language layer to my framework so that it could support multiple languages other than english. What’s the role of unicode in this case?

Frameworks frequently utilize a concept of “localization files” (.po files as a standard) to do UI translation. In your view and controllers, whenever you want to show a piece of text, instead of calling
echo "Hello"You’d do
echo MyFramework::Translate("Hello")That Translate() function just looks up the right .po file, and based on the passed in “ID” of the phrase, returns the desired localized text.
