With mod_rewrite.
With that you can setup Apache to do this:
1) incoming URL:
www.site.com/en/page1.php
to
www.site.com/page1.php?lang=en
You can set up your own rules (using regular expression).
In that way you do not have to really create all these pages, but they
become virtual.
You only have to make page1.php pick up the $_GET["lang"] and make decisions
for your query based on that.
