How to make a project in 2 languages ​​in Yii2?

Question

Yii

There will be a project similar to https://ilovetorun.org/
How to properly translate such a project
1. Translation of content that is added through the admin panel
Make additional fields in the table for 2 languages? Or make a separate table where translation records will be added for each field. That is, the table table_name | field_name | language | translate
2. Translation of static texts on pages
For each text, do a translation through Yii::t() or are there any other options?
3. Is it really possible to translate the fact that users enter them in general?

Answer 1

1. For content translation I use https://github.com/OmgDef/yii2-multilingual-behavior - main language content in one table, translations of multilingual fields in another table.
There is another solution where only data common to all languages ​​is stored in the main table : https://github.com/creocoder/yii2-translateable
y.
3. If you mean comments or information in the profile, then this will be superfluous.
