Using Subdomains for Multilingual website

I have recently decided to choose the subdomains option to redirect users to their preferred language.

for example if I have a french user hitting my website, the user will be automatically redirected to fr.example.com

The original language is English(US), and I have only a landing page to be translated in other languages (Not All website).

The landing page is index.php for example.

Do I have to duplicate the css files and the index.php in subdomains too ?

or

Is there any other options ?

Unless I am mistaken, I guess you want to redirect users to their preferred language using PHP framework, but i would advise you to use .htaccess file to do this.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} (fr) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://fr.example.com/ [R,L]

Note: you have to change example.com to your own domain name. I used the fr language as an example.
