How much data is in it, and how often does your code reference it?

Like this

Code:

//translated date (english->vietnamese)
$aTranslated = array(
        'vietnamese' => array(
            'Thứ hai',
            'Thứ ba',
            'Thứ tư',
            'Thứ năm',
            'Thứ sáu',
            'Thứ bảy',
            'Chủ nhật',
        ),
        'english' => array(
            'Monday',
            'Tuesday',
            'Wednesday',
            'Thursday',
            'Friday',
            'Saturday',
            'Sunday',
        ),
    );

Okay, if that's the extent of your data then you have a few options.

You could conceivably piggyback the config.php file - but I think that'd be ugly.

You could push that amount of data into your session - you've got 4K or so to work with there, remember.

But I really think you'd be better off handling this as a language problem, and use the relevant features of CI.

Have you read:

You could also put it in your config.php file. It's very purpose is to load variables and make them available throughout your application.

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the line where Jedd mentioned using the config.php.

I agree with jedd this should go in language files. For English there is already the calendar_lang file you can use.
