Cakephp send email in different user selected language -

i want sent email on specific language regarding of web language.

for example when user register has possibility select language example english - en, italian - it, german - de , french - fr.

the website multilingual, wanna when user fills form example contact form, , after submits form e-mail sent him.

so lets assume has selected italian language of website, when registered had selected english. e-mail should sent on english though site in italian.

emails translated through __() function of cakephp using .pot files.

email template this:

contact_us_user

<h2 style="color: #ee2424;">     <?php          echo __('sitename');     ?> </h2> <?php     echo "<h2 style='text-align: left;'>";     if (isset($firstname) && isset($lastname) && isset($title)) {         echo __('hello <span style="color: #ee2424;"> %s %s</span>.', $firstname, $lastname);     } else {         echo __('hello');     }     echo "</h2>";     echo __('thank contacting us!');     echo "<br />";     echo __('we take <strong>reservation enquiry</strong> , booking quote');     echo "<br />";     echo "<hr />";     echo __('<p>thanks , regards.</p>'); ?> 

and function send e-mail this:

/*  send message user    */             $layout = 'default';             $template = 'contact_us_user';             $subject  = __('test');             $title_for_layout = __('contact us');             $viewvars = array(                 "firstname"  => $this->request->data['contact']['name'],                 "lastname"  => $this->request->data['contact']['surname'],             );             if(isset($this->request->data['contact']['email']) && !empty($this->request->data['contact']['email']) && trim($this->request->data['contact']['email'])!='') {                 $this->__sendemail($this->request->data['contact']['email'], $subject, $template, $viewvars, $layout, $title_for_layout);             } 

and method bellow:

/**  * send e-mail method  *  * @return boolean  */ public function __sendemail($emailto, $subject = 'email', $template = 'default', $viewvars, $layout = 'default', $title_for_layout = 'test') {     $this->set('title_for_layout', $title_for_layout);     app::uses('cakeemail', 'network/email');     $email = new cakeemail();     $email->template($template, $layout)             ->emailformat('html')             ->viewvars($viewvars)              ->from(array('info@sitename.com'=>'sitename.com'))             ->to($emailto)             ->subject($subject);     return $email->send(); } 

so asking is there way or parameter pass email indicate in language want email sent. like: $language = 'en';

my cakephp version is: 2.5.6

thanks in advance.

i modified bit of @drmonkeyninja code. way im telling site store value on session access correct locale:

public function __sendemailwithlanguage($emailto, $viewvars, $lang, $subject = 'email', $template = 'default', $layout = 'default') {     // store site language     $sitelanguage = configure::read('config.language');      if (isset($lang) && !empty($lang) && trim($lang)!='') {         // switch preferred email language         $this->session->write('config.language', $lang);         configure::write('config.language', $lang);     }      // send email     app::uses('cakeemail', 'network/email');     $email = new cakeemail();     $email->template($template, $layout)         ->emailformat('html')         ->viewvars($viewvars)          ->from(array('info@biriola.com'=>'biriola.com'))         ->to($emailto)         ->subject($subject);     $result = $email->send();      // restore site language     $this->session->write('config.language', $sitelanguage);     configure::write('config.language', $sitelanguage);      return $result; } 

so way change session value of language , change them again previows value.

hope helps!.
