Replace Words With Another

I have a script which is running which pulls data from a database, however - it is stored like this in the database:

 

COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_IRELAND

 

when I call it it echos the same, I want the above to say "Ireland" instead. is this something you can help with?

Internationalization, huh?

 

Is there somewhere already a place in your system that "defines" COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_IRELAND to be Ireland? Maybe in the database? Configuration files?

It might also define that for a specific locale/language, like it's Ireland for most English speakers but Éire for the Irish and Ирландия for Russians.

I need to stop answering my own questions, I created a language file :-)

 

<?PHP

//Have seperate language files for each language I add, this would be english file

function lang($phrase){

    static $lang = array(

        'COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_UNITEDKINGDOM' => 'The UK',

        'COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_IRELAND' => 'Ireland'

    );

    return $lang[$phrase];

}

 

?>
