How to use i18n in a config file in CodeIgniter?

I created a config file for pagination settings .. (application/config/paginaton.php)

and im using i18n in that project, i've tried to use

$config['last_link'] = $this->lang->line('pagination_last_link);

and a lang file (application/language/english/pagination_lang.php)

$lang['pagination_first_link'] = 'First';
$lang['pagination_last_link']  = 'Last';

but it doesn't work...

i'm also using autoload 

$autoload['language'] = array('pagination');

-- error message: A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: CI_Loader::$lang

Filename: config/pagination.php

Line Number: 15

The problem is that your config file is a simple php file containing an array; it doesn't have access to the CI superobject, so the moment you do

$this->lang->line('pagination_last_link')

You're trying am invalid access

I don't know if this might work but try using:

$CI = &get_instance();

$config['last_link'] = $CI->lang->line('pagintion_last_ling');

in your application/config/paginaton.php
