Accessing language outside of the class

[eluser]richthegeek[/eluser]
Hi,

Is there a way to access language lines outside of the class?

The reason I ask is that my current app is in 2 languages, and writing

Code:

$this->lang->line('some_bit_of_text');

all the time is getting on my tits, so I want to be able to shorten it to

Code:

dict( 'some_bit_of_text' );

Anyone know how to do this?

aha, done it.. really should investigate a bit more before posting these topics

Here is the function, please tell me if this is a "bad way" of doing this.

Code:

function dict( $line ) {
        $lang = get_instance();
        return $lang->lang->line( $line );
    }
