What are some best practices for handling errors in PHP forms and passing language information to error pages?

When handling errors in PHP forms and passing language information to error pages, it is important to properly validate user input, display clear error messages, and redirect users to appropriate error pages. One common approach is to use sessions to store error messages and language information, then redirect users to an error page where these messages can be displayed. 

// Validate user input
if(empty($_POST['username'])) {
    $_SESSION['error'] = "Username is required.";
    header("Location: error.php");
    exit();
}

// Store language information in session
$_SESSION['lang'] = "en";

// Redirect to error page
header("Location: error.php");
exit();
```

In the error.php file, you can display the error message and language information stored in the session:

```php
session_start();

if(isset($_SESSION['error'])) {
    echo $_SESSION['error'];
}

if(isset($_SESSION['lang'])) {
    $lang = $_SESSION['lang'];
    // Display error message in appropriate language
}
