<li><i class="zmdi zmdi-label"></i><?php echo $v['name'] ?> : <?php echo $v['y'] ?></li>

Answer 1

First you load the lang() function:

$this->load->helper('language');

Then you load the language file:

$this->lang->load('dashboard_lang', 'arabic');

And then you can get the translation with lang():

        array(
            'y' => $open_projects,
            'name' => lang('myprofile_emp_open_jobs_emp'),
            'color' => '#fc0',
        ),
