To use inside the code on each page that displays text. Place the following code at the top just after the permision_exists

//add multi-lingual support require_once "app_languages.php"; foreach($text as $key => $value) { $text[$key] = $value[$_SESSION['domain']['language']['code']]; }

To place a word, phrase or sentence it would be used in the code like the following example.

echo "".$text['title-conference-centers']." \n";

An additional example.

echo "	 \n"; echo "		\n"; echo "			".$text['description-conference-centers']."\n"; echo "		 \n"; echo "	 \n"; echo " \n";
