I18N Not Working In Yii User-Defined Components

[mahan]

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

What does "the translation doesn't work" mean? Does the English get shown? Does nothing get shown? Does the computer eject the CD? You need to be more specific.
