Dear All I would like to share to all of you about how to create multiple languages using codeigniter. Please read description below and download by click here
1. Create your lanaguage file in folder language:

//chinese_lang.php :
$lang['hellow'] = '你好';
]]>
2. Load language, and helper language in autoload.php
->application->config->autoioad.php
$autoload['language'] = array('english'); // we use for set deduault language
$autoload['helper'] = array('url','language','lang_helper'); // load url, language and lang_helper
3. create file in view.php
<![CDATA[
session->userdata("lang") == null ? "english" : $this->session->userdata("lang");
$this->lang->load($lang, $lang);
?>
<title>Welcome CI multi language | Youlay</title>

public function index()
{
$this->load->view('welcome_message');
}
public function languages($get_lang){
$this->session->set_userdata('lang',$get_lang);
redirect(base_url());
