Codeigniter language

Question

Hi. I wanna make a multilanguage website, but I do not want that the language appear in URI like example.com/fr/about (I do not want this). I just want to change the text language. My problem is that the first load language that I do is for ever. why? If I do:

$this->config->set_item(‘language’,‘english’);
$this->lang->load(‘messages’);
$this->config->set_item(‘language’,‘french’);
$this->lang->load(‘messages’);

or

$this->lang->load(‘messages’,‘english’);
$this->lang->load(‘messages’,‘french’);

just the english appear. How can I fix this?

My config language autoload is empty.

Thank you for your help.

Read the developer guide, there are some things to consider:

• "Language files must be named with _lang.php as the file extension." - your file is just called "message"
• Use different files for different languages
• Simply doing $this->lang->load("messages"); without second argument will load the default language
• Show translated texts with $this->lang->line('some_key');
