Easy way to switch language

Create a library named MY_Controller.php and place in your system/application/libraries

and paste the code below

class Front_Controller extends Controller

{

var $current_culture='';

function Front_Controller()

{

parent::Controller();

if($this->session->userdata('language'))

{

$this->config->set_item('language',$this->session->userdata('language'));

$this->config->set_item('language_code',$this->session->userdata('language_code'));

}

$this->current_culture=$this->config->item('language');

$this->culture_code=$this->config->item('language_code');

}

function set_current_culture($language)

{

$this->session->set_userdata('language',strtolower($language));

}

}

}

Create your controller and extend it with Front_Controller class

For example:

class Home extends Front_Controller

{

function Home()

{

parent::Front_Controller();

}

function index()

{

$data['title']='Switch Language Example';

$this->load->view('home',$data);

}

// Function if you are doing post from FORM

function language()

{

$this->set_language($this->input->post('currlang'));

}

//Function if you are selecting from the Link

function set_language($language_code)

{

$this->set_current_culture($language_code);

redirect(site_url('home'));

}

}

create your view.

You are done.
