I hope we are all talking about Cake 1.2 here?
I am not sure that you should mess with l10n directly at all.
When you do, you are effectively setting the language at different
"levels" in the locale classes. This is what I believe is causing your
problems. If you set the language in l10n, then i18n will not pick
this up.
define('DEFAULT_LANGUAGE', 'eng'); <- deprecated, use
Configure::write()
Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng'); <- sets the language. This
value is used by i18n.
I can switch languages in my app by resetting this value in
beforeFilter. No need to call up an instance of l10n.
If you want to switch it "on the fly" during rendering (don't know why
really, but)... then it is another matter since i18n does not recheck
the config once it has been setup. Then you need to get the current
instance of i18n and set the language there:
App::import('Core', 'i18n');
$i18n = I18n::getInstance();
$i18n->l10n->get($lang);
hope this helps.
