Methods

i18next::init( string $languageKey [, string $path ] );

Loads translation files from given path. Looks for translation.json by default.

i18next::init('en', 'languages/__lng__/__ns__.json');
// loads languages/en/animal.json, languages/fi/animal.json, etc...

Method throws an exception if no files are found or the json can not be parsed.

    }
}
