Using an multidimensional array in a language file - El Forum - 07-19-2008

Hello,

I have pulldownitem in my form and would like to translate the values coming from the database. My database looks like this:

Code:
#id        #country

1        abc

2        def

3        ghi

4        jkl

Now I would like to create a language file which translates the countrynames, something like this:

Code:
$lang['language_abc'] = 'translation of abc';

$lang['language_def'] = 'translation of def';

$lang['language_ghi'] = 'translation of ghi';

$lang['languge_jkl'] = 'translation of jkl';

This is my first project with Codeigniter and I have no idea if this is possible or if I have to customize the language library. Maybe you know a solution for this? (My suggestion doesn't seem to work).

Thanks,
Daniel
