You can create language files for each language, and then use PHP sessions or cookies to store the user's language preference across pages.

Why we use javascript as we have a powerful scripting language php?

First of all, PHP is server side, Javascript is client side. You cannot detect mouse gestures or any clicks with PHP the same way you cannot read a file or modify it or process a form (unless you use AJAX of course).

Overall we use javascript and PHP because they are used for two completely different things.
