Language Bug - ajmeireles - 01-28-2020 Hi! I'm migrate from CI3 to CI4 and I think have a bug on lang general function. When I call it, according the guide, the system return me the variable and not the message. In Model: $teste = lang("Logout.NoUser", [], "pt-BR"); return $teste; Structure: app/Language/pt-BR/Logout.php <?php return [     "Logout.NoUser"          => "User not found", ]; When return from model is passed to the view... View: RE: Language Bug - zahhar - 01-29-2020 There is no bug. CI4 returns key itself when this key cannot be found in referenced language file. Docs say: "If the value doesn’t match a valid locale as defined in the App configuration file, the default locale will be used in it’s place." (https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/outgoing/localization.html) This is exactly your case. And it happens, because you added extra "Logout" prefix in your language file. Create language file "app/Language/pt-BR/Logout.php", put the following content: return [ "NoUser" => "User not found", ]; and use it: lang("Logout.NoUser", [], "pt-BR"); So you should use %Filename%.%Key% pattern in lang() function. Also, if your key name is "Logout.NoUser", then you would call it "Logout.Logout.NoUser"
