############### Language Helper ###############

The Language Helper file contains functions that assist in working with language files.

.. contents:: :local:

.. raw:: html

<div class="custom-index container"></div>

Loading this Helper

This helper is loaded using the following code::

$this->load->helper('language');

Available Functions

The following functions are available:

.. php:function:: lang($line[, $for = ''[, $attributes = array()]])

:param	string	$line: Language line key
:param	string	$for: HTML "for" attribute (ID of the element we're creating a label for)
:param	array	$attributes: Any additional HTML attributes
:returns:	The language line; in an HTML label tag, if the ``$for`` parameter is not empty
:rtype:	string

This function returns a line of text from a loaded language file with
simplified syntax that may be more desirable for view files than
``CI_Lang::line()``.

Examples::

	echo lang('language_key');
	// Outputs: Language line

	echo lang('language_key', 'form_item_id', array('class' => 'myClass'));
	// Outputs: <label for="form_item_id" class="myClass">Language line</label>
