60 <h1>Language Helper
</h1>
62 <p>The Language Helper file contains functions that assist in working with language files.
</p>
65 <h2>Loading this Helper
</h2>
67 <p>This helper is loaded using the following code:
</p>
68 <code>$this-
>load-
>helper('language');
</code>
70 <p>The following functions are available:
</p>
72 <h2>lang('
<var>language line
</var>', '
<var>element id
</var>')
</h2>
74 <p>This function returns a line of text from a loaded language file with simplified syntax
75 that may be more desirable for view files than calling
<kbd>$this-
>lang-
>line()
</kbd>.
76 The optional second parameter will also output a form label for you. Example:
</p>
78 <code>echo lang('
<samp>language_key
</samp>', '
<samp>form_item_id
</samp>');
<br />
79 // becomes
<label
for="form_item_id"
>language_key
</label
></code>
