Remove Codeigniter <label> wrapping lang() - El Forum - 11-01-2013

Hello,

How do I remove the auto label wrapping that is for the lang() in Codeigniter.

The manual doesn't say anything about it: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter /user-guide/helpers/language_helper.html

Do I have to write a function by myself or is there a simple clean way that Im missing?

Im using lang(); because I want to send a dynamic value with it, like lang('welcom_user', $username); . $this->lang->line(); doesn't support this, so its not an option.

Just write:

Code:
Welcome, &lt;?php echo isset(lang('username')) ? lang('username') : 'Guest';?&gt;

[quote author="Tpojka" date="1383339827"]Just write:

Code:
Welcome, &lt;?php echo isset(lang('username')) ? lang('username') : 'Guest';?&gt;

[/quote]

But that won't work either.

Of course I want to be able to translate "Welcome" beofre the message as well.

Code:
lang(‘welcom_user’, $username);

Variable in lang file:
Eng-ver: Welcome %s to this page
Swe-ver: Välkommen %s till denna sidan

With your code I won't be able to translate the whole variable.

Use placeholders in language files.

Code:
//In your language file...

$lang['welcome_username'] = 'Welcome %s.';

//then in your view or controller..

echo ( sprintf( lang("welcome_username"), "Bob") ); 

//Results in   "Welcome Bob."
