[Chameleon] Billingual method of selecting map file?

[Jason Fournier]

When i print_r( $oApp ) I have a key called mszCurrentLanguage at the 
top level.  This is in Chameleon 1.99 Beta2.  The value for this key is 
null until I change the language through the shared resource.  Chameleon 
will set this variable when requested to do a language change.  The 
language must match one of the langauges defined by:

$oApp->CWCAddRegionalTemplate( "en-CA", "foo_en.html");

in order for the code in the previous email to work properly.


So if $oApp['mszCurrentLanguage'] == '' then you are using your default 
language.  If it is set then you are using the language that corresponds 
to the value of $oApp['mszCurrentLanguage'].
