Hi guys,

I need help with i18n and components. I want to change some text directly in the components with conditions. I searched the official manual and found the following:

<?php if ($language == 'en') { ?>English text<?php } ?>
<?php if ($language == 'de') { ?>Deutscher Text<?php } ?>
<?php if ($language == 'es') { ?>...<?php } ?>

But it only works directly in the template. Doesn`t work in components. How do I need to change it?

thanx

If you add
at the beginning, it should work in the component, too.

But you can also use multiple components suffixed with the language.

Tried to add globals but it didn`t work for me.

Found a solution:
<?php $language = $_GET["lang"] ?>

This should do it. Thanks for your help.

components run anonymously, you must declare globals in scope.

so

Maybe $language is wrong or not defined yet.

but in this case, why do you need to switch between components this way, when it's perfectly working with suffixes ?

This methods you mentioned above doesn't work neither on template files nor on components.
