PHP for Multilingual Web Applications: A Comprehensive Guide

CodeIgniter is listed as Number 3.

I believe CI4 should be ranked as the number one choice. As far as I know, Laravel and Symfony store all language strings in a single language file. I consider this practice detrimental to maintainability. However, CI4 can utilize any number of language files, making language string management much easier.

The capability to use multiple language files is one of the reasons why I chose CI4 over Laravel and Symfony.

Agree.

I agree as well. It's a shame that, even though the article was last modified on January 17, all links mentioned in the bullet points refer to CI3 rather than CI4.
Also, mentioning CI is sort of buried in the Symphony part of the article.
