Why there is no "l()" method in FrontControllerCore

[jack2684]

In AdminControllerCore, there is a method:

protected function l($string, $class = null, $addslashes = false, $htmlentities = true)
{
  ...
}

I think it is used for translation. I am curious about why there is no such function in FrontController? Doesn't also important to support multi-language in the front?

Me too... it's supposed that in the FrontOffice you can translate everything in the tpl files, whereas some content in the back office is generated by helpers so you don't have a tpl file.

 

But when I've needed translation in the FrontOffice controllers (overriding for example) I've used the Translate class for modules translations.

for example

................
include_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'pele_scb_disponibilidad/pele_scb_disponibilidad.php');
$pele_Scb_disponibilidad=new Pele_Scb_disponibilidad();

$deliveryDayStr=Translate::getModuleTranslation($pele_Scb_disponibilidad->name,'Tomorrow',$pele_Scb_disponibilidad->name);
