[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
hi,
i am have create a Librarie for CI witch allows you to create a multi-language page:

Code:

<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class multi_language
{
    
    private $language;
    private $object;
    
    public function __construct()
    {

        $this->object =& get_instance();

        $lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
        
        $lange = explode(';', $lang);
        $lange2 = explode('-', $lange[0]);
        $lang = $lange2[0];
        
        $dir_name = './system/application/views/' . $lang . '/';
        if(is_dir($dir_name))
        {
            $this->language = $lang;
        }else{
            $this->language = 'en';
        }
    }
    
    public function load_view($name,$data = array())
    {
        $this->object->load->view($this->language . '/' . $name, $data);
    }
    
}

?>

Create the Dir's and the Views like this:

Code:

system\application\views\de\welcome.php
system\application\views\fr\welcome.php
system\application\views\en\welcome.php

save the librarie in

Code:

system\application\libraries\multi_language.php

and implement it in you controller like this:

Code:

<?php
class Welcome extends Controller {

    function Welcome()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        $this->load->library('multi_language');
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $this->multi_language->load_view('welcome');
    }
}
?>

I hope you can use it.
And sry about my bad english... xD

good luck

a second method to make an multi-language ci is to modified the loader-class

Replace the Constructor of the loader-class

Code:

system/libraries/loader.php

with these code

Code:

/**
     * Constructor
     *
     * Sets the path to the view files and gets the initial output buffering level
     *
     * @access    public
     */
    function CI_Loader()
    {    
        $this->_ci_is_php5 = (floor(phpversion()) >= 5) ? TRUE : FALSE;
        
        $lang = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
        $lange = explode(';', $lang);
        $lange2 = explode('-', $lange[0]);
        $lang = $lange2[0];
        
        $view_path = APPPATH.'views/' . $lang . '/';
        
        if(is_dir($view_path))
        {
            $this->_ci_view_path = $view_path;
        }else{
            $this->_ci_view_path = APPPATH.'views/en/';
        }        
        
        
        $this->_ci_ob_level  = ob_get_level();
                
        log_message('debug', "Loader Class Initialized");
    }

and implement the controller like this:

Code:

<?php

class Welcome extends Controller {

    function Welcome()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('welcome');
    }
}

?>
