Using language in a helper - El Forum - 05-19-2008

Hello,
How can I use the language files i a HELPER?
Normally I user $this->lang->line('blabla'), but since helpers are not classes I can't use that. Is there any native CI methods to do this, or should I simply check what language is used and include the lang files manually?

Ahh, found it.
Code:
$CI = & get_instance();
$CI->lang->line('blabla');Using language in a helper - El Forum - 05-19-2008

you'll have to use something like
Code:
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->lang->load('curses','swahili');

I submitted a language parser helper to the wiki (or was it Ignited Code) a while back, it may help you.
