I'm not sure if Stack Overflow is the right forum for this, but here goes:

From a technical point of view, option 1 is probably the easiest to implement. If you are on any English-language page and need to link to, say, the Spanish version of the same page, all you need to do is take your URL and replace /en/ by /es/.

So far I've seen this approach used practically everywhere... I cannot remember ever having seen option 2 in practice.
