Question

I’m a beginner in YII framework (PHP)
When creating a new site with YII, it will displayed with english page.

I want to change the default language to French, so pages will be displayed in French.

Answer 1

To change the language, set CApplication::language appropriately. This can be done at runtime as in

Yii::app()->language = 'fr';

but usually it’s done in your application configuration:

array(
    // ...settings...
    'language' => 'fr',
    // ...more settings...
)
