The sale in the download's section is now over.

In Webhost 2 we plan on allowing you to setup your site to run in different languages. As the script is still in the early workings it might work like this.

There will be a setting in the database to set the default language such as "en" english - "fr" french, and such.

Changing this will cause the system to load a "en"/"fr" folder. The folder will then include basic .php files with keywords.

$text['hello_world'] = "hello world"
$text['contact_us'] = "contact us"

By default we will have a few files in there. However if someone creates a page mod. They will be able to use.

$lang->load('mymod');

and it will load the php language file such as.

en/mymod.php or fr/mymod.php

note that if it can not find a language file it will default back to english. If it can not find an english version it will just return null.

Remember this is very basic still and more options should be added as we go along.

wouldn't it be better to use the language's full name eg english spanish french german etc as short codes could confuse people and maybe prefix the folder and files with lang_

rather than returning null how about a warning box to appear?

Well right now the files are in "language/{language}/file.php".

Also the En to English would be a quick change. Mods might also suggest a default language of their own later. So if the site is in English, but the mod was only written in German you would be able to overwrite the default site language until a convert was finished.

so if we wanted language/english/{file}.php we could instead of language/en/{file}.php

sweet, if file missing maybe add something like

"language file for mod [modname] not found contact support with support code : [randnumber][modname]lf[langname]"

support codes are fun they show idiots quickly
