Re: need Help on Internationalization in CakePHP

Hi !

I'm new with Cake and with gettext.

I read [1] and [2] but I'm still lost ^^

I don't understand how to choose the default language used in whole
application.
I name my locale dirs with the tree letter convention, I have eng and
fre at the moment.
The application doesn't require "live" language change, so I want to
set the default language in a config file if possible, and just change
it when installing the application in another language.

I don't understand how cake "parses" the default.po files (I tested
gettext with .mo files), is there anything in cache ?
my app/tmp/cache dir contains 3 dirs only containing an "Empty" file;
I think cake doesn't cache anything for me
(chmod on app/tmp are set to 777)

In [1], we could find this :
$this->L10n = new L10n();
$this->L10n->get("eng");

but I don't know where to write those lines in my controller class.

In [1], there's this line :
App::import('Core', 'l10n');

and in this group, I also find this :
uses('L10n');

is it the same (for different version of cakephp) or have I to use
both ?

hope someone could help me to understand and sorry for my bad english
