Question

I’ve just upgraded my Codeigniter from 1.7.2 to 2.1.0. And I noticed the language folder became longer from “en” to “english”.

Is there a way to change the language folder back to short name?

Thank you

The CodeIgniter documentation tells you loading languages is done by the following command.

$this->lang->load('filename', 'language');

Where the filename would be [name] (file is called [name]_lang.php) and language would be the name of the folder.

So renaming the english folder to en and then load it trough the command like:

$this->lang->load('filename', 'en');
