What does the __() function do in FuelPHP?

Question

Consider:

public static function get_publish_flag_values()
{
    return array(
        self::PUBLISH_FLAG_ON => __('model.item.publish_flag_values.on'),
        self::PUBLISH_FLAG_OFF => __('model.item.publish_flag_values.off')
    );
}

In FuelPHP, where can I find the use of _('mode.item.product_code')?

It's a function name. Terribly counter intuitive function name. — zerkms, Aug 07 '14 at 02:05
Not sure about fuelphp, but it [looks like a translation function](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1777131/double-underscore-in-php). — Jared Farrish, Aug 07 '14 at 02:06
Related (perhaps even a duplicate - the answers talk about some other frameworks, like [WordPress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress) and [CakePHP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CakePHP), but they could just as well have mentioned [FuelPHP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FuelPHP)): *[Double underscore in PHP](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1777131/)* — Peter Mortensen, Feb 23 '22 at 15:03

It is in fuel/app/lang, and if you use modules, it is in fuel/app/modules/lang. It returns an array.

And also, to use you need to add one line :`\Lang::load('your file, true);` – iatboy Aug 07 '14 at 02:11

__() is simply an alias for Lang::get. See the Lang class documentation.

It's used as often people prefer the shorter syntax.
