The language library in Codeigniter is very simple, and doesn’t\u00a0 support variable substitution, only partial or complete phrases.<\/p>\n

For this reason, I have made minor changes to allow the variable substitution, thus it’s not the same espelling in different idiomas.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

To show a price, every country have it’s own format, sometimes sig are before, sometimes after the number ( float or integer). My language helper solves it.<\/p>\n

In your language\/english directory, you will have your language file with this:<\/p>\n

$lang[\u2018product_price\u2019]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = \u2018$ %6.0d\u2019;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In your language\/spanish directory, you will have your kanguage file with this:<\/p>\n

$lang[\u2018price\u2019]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = \u2018%6.2f \u20ac\u2019;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Herem the language_helper.php file (must to be create with this name and in the helper appliation\/directory):<\/p>\n
