What are the challenges of creating a Translate/Template-Engine in PHP and how can they be overcome?

One challenge of creating a Translate/Template-Engine in PHP is handling different languages and translations efficiently. To overcome this, you can use language files with key-value pairs for each translation and load the appropriate file based on the user's language preference. 

// Example of loading language files based on user's preference
$user_language = 'en'; // Assume user's language preference is English

// Load language file based on user's preference
$language_file = 'languages/' . $user_language . '.php';
if (file_exists($language_file)) {
    include $language_file;
} else {
    // Fallback to default language file
    include 'languages/en.php';
}

// Usage of translations from language file
echo $lang['welcome_message']; // Output: Welcome to our website
