What are some strategies for managing multiple records with the same ID in PHP when dealing with multiple language selections?

When managing multiple records with the same ID in PHP while dealing with multiple language selections, one strategy is to create a separate table to store translations for each record based on the selected language. This allows for easy retrieval of the correct translation based on the language selection. 

// Example code snippet for managing multiple records with the same ID in PHP for multiple language selections

// Assuming we have a table 'products' with columns 'id' and 'name'
// And a table 'product_translations' with columns 'product_id', 'language', and 'translated_name'

// Retrieve product name based on language selection
function getProductTranslation($productId, $language) {
    $query = "SELECT translated_name FROM product_translations WHERE product_id = $productId AND language = '$language'";
    // Execute query and return translated name
}

// Usage example
$productId = 1;
$language = 'en';
$productName = getProductTranslation($productId, $language);
echo $productName;
