add_translation	(		$country_code,
			$language_array
	)

Add a translation.

Translations are arrays in the Zend Translation array format, eg:

Parameters

string	$country_code	Standard country code (eg 'en', 'nl', 'es')
array	$language_array	Formatted array of strings

Returns

bool Depending on success

elgg_echo	(		$message_key,
			$args = array(),
			$language = ""
	)

Given a message key, returns an appropriately translated full-text string.

Parameters

string	$message_key	The short message code
array	$args	An array of arguments to pass through vsprintf().
string	$language	Optionally, the standard language code (defaults to site/user default, then English)

Returns

string Either the translated string, the English string, or the original language string.

Definition at line 21 of file languages.php.

elgg_language_key_exists	(		$key,
			$language = 'en'
