Instructions

To use this plugin you need to follow these steps:

• Create directory langs in the main CFWheels path
• Create directory default in langs dir
• Add globals.mo file into langs/default directory
• Add to globals.mo file translations that you will use for entire website (at least for two Controllers) in this kind of formatting:
  $key:$value|
  
  Note:
  - if you need to use : in your lang string use HTML CODE 58
  - if you need to use | in your lang string use HTML CODE 124
• Add to your's Contrroler.cfc init function
• Simply create dirs in langs/default location calling them as a Controller name and put in it files with action name and .mo extension
• From the wiew call the function:
  #getLang("key")#
  to get the value of your key.
• That's all, the plugin will return the translated text.
• If you need to add another language just create the directory in langs/someName and copy all files and dirs from default directory into it.
• To change the site language just set session.lang var into someName (the same as you have named the location of new language)
