Question

I want users to choose their language in a cakePHP app. I have default.po files for German and English. But when I call $this->Session->write('Config.language', 'ger'); in a Controller function, nothing happens.

What do I have to do to make it work?

Controller function:

public function changeLang() { 
    $this->autoRender = false; 
    $this->Session->write('Config.language','ger'); 
    Configure::write('Config.language','ger'); 
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('Language changed succefully.')); 
    $this->redirect($this->referer()); 
}

Answer 1

I found the solution, i used the wrong language-code for my folder. I had “ger” but it should have been “deu”.
