在开发Yii2的情况下,有时候遇到错误的情况下(例如model下面的错误提示信息),希望提示信息默认为中文,这个时候就需要修改Yii2的默认语言,最直观的方式是:

//Yii2的默认的配置文件里面
$config = [
    'id' => 'basic',
    'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
    'language' => 'zh-CN',  		//全局设置为中文--推荐

]

如果只针对局部的某一个控制器和方法下的话可以使用如下的方式

//也可以在外部设置
//Yii::$app->language = 'zh-CN';		//设定为使用中文 

public function actionIndex(){   

    Yii::$app->language = 'en';			//设定语言为英文 

    Yii::$app->language = 'zh-CN';		//设定为使用中文 
    
    echo Yii::t('app', 'Goodbye_flag');

    echo Yii::$app->language;			//得到当前的语言
}

附上yii2的默认的错误提示语中文 yiisoft\yii2\message\zh-CN\yii.php
