Multilanguage through csv files is broken or not supported and multilanguage through csv files for modules is broken or not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a line in the csv file
2. change language
3. line isn't translated in the frontend using getTranslation() helper

Multilanguage for Modules
1. add in modules/module/data/language/english.csv a line
2. change the language
3. line isn't translated in the frontend using getTranslation() helper

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the expected output is that the line is translated according the
translation in the csv file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Digitalus 1.5.1 on a Ubuntu server

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem is that only the translations for the default language
configured in the config.xml file are loaded.
So if you ask the translate adapter for a translation other than the
default language ($adapter->isAvailable($currentLanguage)) it returns false.

The problem of multilanguage for modules is almost the same. Even here the
default language file will never be loaded.

I've created a patch for this problem ( see the code below or the attached
file) I've created a new internal function to load the language files for
every module and a foreach for loading all other site wide languages.

Please let me know if this is the right way to fix this problem. It works
for me ;)

Thnx in advance,

Dennis-Jan

Hello Dennis-Jan,

first of all, the csv files are for the translation of the BACKend, not the 
frontend.

Secondly, have You checked the most current files from the SVN?
http://code.google.com/p/digitalus-cms/source/browse/trunk/application/Initializ
er.php

The language files for modules are loaded in the initControllers() method. We 
could
discuss if it should be pushed into an own method; but that's it for now.

Cheers,
LowTower.

Hello LowTower,

I do need a way to translate sentences in a template. So I will use my solution 
to
achieve such translation behavior for the frontend. Or do you have a proposal to
achieve this behavior?

In my opinion loading the languages isn't the responsibility of the 
initControllers
method but more the responsibility of the initLocale method.

So my problem isn't solved with your proposal :)

Cheers Dennis-Jan
