One way you can do this is by reading the $this->request->params['locale'] variable, which is available in the Controller/AppController.php file, and then change the layout according to it. It would be something like this:
class AppController extends CroogoAppController {
public function beforeRender() {
// Some code...
// First, checks if the locale parameter is not empty
if(!empty($this->request->params['locale']))
// Then, sets the layout for each case.
// In this example, we user eng and ja
switch($this->request->params['locale']) {
case 'eng':
$this->layout = 'Croogo.eng';
break;
case 'esp':
$this->layout = 'Croogo.ja';
break;
}
// If it is empty, then loads the default locale layout
else
$this->layout = 'Croogo.default';
}
// The rest of the AppController code...
}
Note that I used the Croogo prefix for the layout files. I did this because I wanted the layout files to be loaded from within the croogo folder. In my installation, they are located in the path Vendor/croogo/croogo/Croogo/View/Layouts.
Hope it helps!
