IncludeTemplateLangFile

IncludeTemplateLangFile(
 string abs_path,
 string lang = false
);

The function is used to include language files into scripts located in the current site template directory. The function is usually used in components, or in the site prologue and/or epilogue.

Language file search algorithm:

1. First, the language file will be searched in the following folder:
   
   /bitrix/templates/current site template ID/lang/language ID/relative path to script
   
   
2. If the file is not found, the search will continue in the following folder:
   
   /bitrix/templates/.default/lang/language ID/relative path to script
   
   
3. If the file is still not found, the module installation folder is searched:
   
   /bitrix/modules/module ID/install/templates/lang/language ID/relative path to script

Generally, a "relative path to script" is the path to file relative to the folder /bitrix/templates/current site template ID/.

In specific instances, when including components, the "relative path to script", is the component inclusion path passed to the CMain::IncludeFile method as the first parameter.
