i18n component language conditions

[itsmeee]

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

Code:

<?php global $language; ?>

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

Code:

GLOBAL $language,$blargh;

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.
