InformationModel.LookupTranslation(localizedText, localeIds)

Reads the translations associated with a key based on the
NamespaceIndex
 and
TextId
 properties of the first argument.
Returns the
LocaleId
 and
Text
 properties of the
LocalizedText
 object that are assigned a value based on the first translation available between the locales supplied in the second argument. 
LocalizedText LookupTranslation(LocalizedText 
localizedText
, List<string> 
localeIds
);

Arguments

localizedText
 (LocalizedText)
A C# object that
TextId
 and
NamespaceIndex
 properties identify the key of interest.
localeIds
 (List)
The locales of interest expressed with locale IDs. Any IDs that come after the first ID indicate a fallback locale.

Returns

LocalizedText
The
LocaleId
 and
Text
 properties of a C# object that are assigned values based on the first locale available among those indicated in the
localeIds
 argument.
TIP: If a string for the indicated locale is not available, the
LocaleId
 and
Text
 properties remain empty.

Example

The following example shows an API that returns a
translation
 object of the
LocalizedText
 type, which represents the
Key2
 key of a
LocalizationDictionary
. The first API argument is a
LocalizedText
 object created using a constructor which argument defines its
TextId
 property. The second argument is a list that contains the IDs for the locales of interest (
it-IT
 and
es-ES
).
The
translation
 object is used to set the text of a label based on the first available translation between
it-IT
 and
es-ES
.
var myLocalizedText = new LocalizedText("Key2");
var translation = InformationModel.LookupTranslation(myLocalizedText, new List<string>() { "it-IT", "es-ES" });
var label2 = Owner.Get<Label>("Label2");
label2.Text = "Translation: " + translation.Text;
