Ecommerce website in CI

Hi,

I am going to build e-commerce website. And I need some advice.

Website specs:
1. Multilingual
2. Many brands (stores)
3. Project is my own, so CMS is not mandatory.


Questions:
1. Which framework should I choose? 
Will Codeigniter will be enough  for it, or maybe there are e-commerce frameworks built on top of CI. 
or I should choose other framework such as Laravel
2. If there is, can u share seed project links.

Never needed to build a multilingual site in CI, however, I've worked with code that does.
I've worked on a multi-site educational tool (where different departments could create their own set of educational CBTs separate from other departments (each with their own login, etc, with a core base code in the backend)

The framework isn't nearly as important as your skills. The framework will just speed you along, it doesn't do the work for you. Having said that, CI is fine to complete the task. I believe some e-commerce frameworks exist for CI, I'd used one in the past, but since have just rolled my own - and - used Magento. Magento is a beast, it can do anything, but requires a lot of subject matter expertise to use.

I'm not a fan of Laravel - but I'm pretty sure it can also handle what you want to do. (hey, and with their template system you're FREE of having to type in <?php, gosh, that's a feature that, I'm sure, will make ALL of the difference in the project - as you type in @ instead, cause, yeah, <?php is just so hard... python wannabes....)
