   <?php
        ...
        $current_language = "en_US";
        #Only do language stuff for admin pages
[!]     if (isset($CMS_ADMIN_PAGE)) {
                ...
                #Check to see if there is already a language in use...
                if (isset($_POST["change_cms_lang"])) {
[!]                     $current_language = $_POST["change_cms_lang"];
                        setcookie("cms_language", $_POST["change_cms_lang"]);
                } else if (isset($_COOKIE["cms_language"])) {
                        $current_language = $_COOKIE["cms_language"];
                }
                else {
                        ...
                }

                #Ok, we have a language to load, let's load it already...
                if (isset($nls['file'][$current_language])) {
                        foreach ($nls['file'][$current_language] as $onefile) {
[!]                             include($onefile);
                        }
                }
                ...
