I18N problem with default language (FIXED)

Hi,

I've noticed that the google bot indexed the language keys instead of
the translation. I could reproduce this by doing a telnet and a
"GET /" (it doesn't matter what site).

CakePHP caches the language files and for some reason it tried to load
"cake_core_default_en_us" instead of the default language. It didn't
matter if I chose "deu" or "eng" as default language - it always
loaded en_us. The bad thing is that Cake caches [LC_MESSAGES]
[$my_default_language][default] as an empty array instead of trying to
load the correct language and so it doesn't translate.
The function I18n::translate() has this array in $_this->__domains.
For that reason it's not trying to translate it.

The problem could be "solved" by copying the cache file
"cake_core_default_$my_default_language" to "cake_core_default_en_us".
I could also "fix" it by changing the line "if (!isset($_this-
>__domains[$_this->category][$_this->__lang][$domain])) {" to "if (!
isset($_this->__domains[$_this->category][$_this->__lang][$domain]) ||
sizeof($_this->__domains[$_this->category][$_this->__lang][$domain] ==
0)) {".
So I have forced cake to re-read the language file if it doesn't
contain anything.

This happened with CakePHP 1.2.6 as well as 1.2.7.

But enough of this blah. The problem was, that I've used __() in
bootstrap.php - which was obviously bad, because Cake didn't know
anything about the default language *doh*. I don't think it's a real
bug, but it may be considered somewhere.

cheers,

massl
