  427. <p>The Language Class provides functions to retrieve language files and
    428. 

  428. lines of text for purposes of internationalization.</p>
    429. 

  429. <p>In your CodeIgniter <strong>system</strong> folder, you will find a <strong>language</strong> sub-directory
    430. 

  430. containing a set of language files for the <strong>english</strong> idiom.
    431. 

  431. The files in this directory (<strong>system/language/english/</strong>) define the regular messages,
    432. 

  432. error messages, and other generally output terms or expressions, for the different parts
    433. 

  433. of the CodeIgniter framework.</p>
    434. 

  434. <p>You can create or incorporate your own language files, as needed, in order to provide
    435. 

  435. application-specific error and other messages, or to provide translations of the core
    436. 

  436. messages into other languages. These translations or additional messages would go inside
    437. 

  437. your <strong>application/language/</strong> directory, with separate sub-directories for each idiom
    438. 

  438. (for instance, ‘french’ or ‘german’).</p>
    439. 

  439. <p>The CodeIgniter framework comes with a set of language files for the “english” idiom.
    440. 

  440. Additional approved translations for different idioms may be found in the

    442. 

  442. Each repository deals with a single idiom.</p>
    443. 

  443. <p>When CodeIgniter loads language files, it will load the one in <strong>system/language/</strong>
    444.
