config language and the i18n-wiki tutorial

[eluser]tobben[/eluser]
Concerning the Wiki-post:
i18n-wiki post

Anyone figured out a way to swap language settings in the config file, depending on the language set in the i18n script?

So, if I swap language to "no" (norwegian), the language set is also switched - so I could get me some nice norwegian day names on ex. the calendar.


Sincerly yours,

Update:

I added this to the controller construct:

Code:

if($this->uri->segment(1) == 'no')
            {    
                $this->config->set_item('language', 'norwegian');
            }
            else
            {    
                $this->config->set_item('language', 'english');
            }

So if the URI is:

http://localhost:8888/en/kalender/dato/2007/12 - show english language files
http://localhost:8888/no/kalender/dato/2007/12 - show norwegian language files





It works, but its probably a lame way to change this system language.


Suggestions to make it work globaly on all scripts?

As an alternative to hooks, you could put it in the constructor of a custom parent controller and extend it. You might find the parent controller handy for other things as well.

you should see how language is set at the mini application
by Peccavio. They did a really good job.
