Change language context for Smarty templates

[quantum]

How chnage language context for Smarty, that all strings in tpl {l s='...' mod='...'} uses spesified language, instead of Employee default language.

Ex., I tried in module before $this->display() or $this->context->smarty->fetch()  change context:

$this->context->language = new Language(5);
$this->context->employee->id_lang = 5;

Does not help, UI language has changed, but render of .tpl  still uses employee default language.

Hi,

If you wish to change an employee's language, you must construct a new employee object with the preferred lang id set.
Each employee has a lang id that is set when a new employee is created.

Have a nice day.

I need for the same employee, just show the template in the selected language. The employee himself chooses in which language he wants to see the result.

You can try this:
 

$employee = new Employee("id_employee");
$employee->id_lang = 5; // set your choosen lang_id;

Kind regards,
Leo

Issue  were in deeper...

Prestashop at the first mention of any {l s='..'}  or $this->l(...) loads language file and cached it in global $_MODULES varaible, and after not load another language and not replaced loaded strings, even if change language context during runtime.

I solved this so, need finding the place in the module where the translation has never been requested before and changing the language in the context before this place.
