You have received some good advice.  There are strong tools to support 
localization, but they are not inexpensive.  They might be lower cost than 
developing your own.  However, your goal to develop your programming skills 
is also a cost to be considered.  Are you interested in developing an open 
source localization tool?

A consideration for web applications is who will be maintaining the code. 
If these are all your own and no one else will ever work on them, then use 
any tool you like.  Coding them in x86 assembly language would increase your 
computer knowledge, but we both know that is not the right tool for this 
task.
