Answer 1

You always can access to the $_SESSION variable. However, I'm not sure if it's compatible with CodeIgniter Session library.

session_start();

if(isset($_SESSION['lang']))
{
   // define your routing here
}

Answer 2

Upto the level I understand,You're using Codeigniter's session data as an identity to indicate lang and its associated data..?

Codeigniter uses similar way of superglobal session maintainence like using session_start() and $_SESSION. But It is advised not to use session data anywhere else than that of controllers.

Try writing a Super-controller which extends to all of your controllers .

            class SuperController extends MY_Controller
        {



            public function __construct()
             {
                // Ensure you run parent constructor
                parent::__construct();    
                $this->checkSess();
             }

            public function checkSess() 
           {
              //Your session check and its associated redirects
              //eg. if $this->session->en==1 redirect to eng lang controller



            }

        }

    Class YourController extends SuperController{
    //Your code

}

Or You can use multilang suppport in Codeigniter as of in Codexworld

Or If you want to still use session in routes.php . You can try as of in a standard PHP way as Alexander said.But I doubt whether it works properly.
