What is the common way to implement multi-language website?

I prepare my multi language by making the 'lang' identifier the first URI segment and routing accordingly. That provides me with a consistent workable solution.

Prettier is when you can use cookies to store the language selection. But there's always a chance that might not work due to browser conditions. Another way is using cookies which may or may not work depending on the audience. So I use this option as my preferred way but if cookies are off, I then fall back on urls. Ergo - you definitely want to have that working first and foremost.

Cheerio,
