+<h3>Using language lines as form labels</h3>

+

+<p>If your application requires it, a language line can automatically be output as a &lt;label&gt; by specifying a second parameter, which will become the "for" attribute of the label.</p>

+

+<code>

+$this->lang->line('<samp>language_key</samp>', '<samp>form_item_id</samp>'); <br />

 <h2>Auto-loading Languages</h2>

 <p>If you find that you need a particular language globally throughout your application, you can tell CodeIgniter to <a href="../general/autoloader.html">auto-load</a> it during system initialization. This is done by opening the application/config/autoload.php file and adding the language(s) to the autoload array.</p>
