I created a simple component in my Yii project and there is a text on it that needs to be translated using i18n feature of Yii class MySimpleComponent{ public static function WelcomeCurrentUser(){ $wuser = Yii::t("lstrings","Welcome back "); $wuser .= Yii::app()->session['curuser']; return $wuser; } } I invoke that small component function in one of my views. echo MySimpleComponent::WelcomeCurrentUser(); but as i change the language in one of my controllers using the following code Yii::app()->language = 'ja' //change language to japanese the translation doesn't work... I double check my i18n strings to ensure that messages are exact to each other and still doesn't work. this is my lstrings.php file return array("Hello"=>"こんにちは", "Welcome back "=>"お帰りなさい", ); Any ideas why the translation does not work? any solutions? thanks
