load_rules()

The load_rules method loads the inflector rules based on the current language configuration. If no rulesset can be found (i.e. no inflector lang file exists), the class will default to a ruleset for the English language. If you have loaded a ruleset, you change your language configuration, reload again, but the new configuration doesn't have a ruleset defined, Inflector will continue to use the current one.

Upon first use the Inflector class will autoload the the ruleset based on the language configuration. Normally you do not have to use this method.

Inflector::load_rules(); // (re)loads the Inflector ruleset
