Calling $this->lang->line with a variable as parameter (CodeIgniter)
===

My problem is quite straightforward but I just can't figure out a solution.

I want to call $this->lang->line() but with a variable as parameter.

For example 
$country = 'Italy';
$this->lang->line($country); 

should return what $this->lang->line('Italy') would return.

Any ideas?
