Example

The following example shows an API that returns a translation object of the LocalizedText type that contains the requested translated string, associated with the Key1 key. The API argument is a LocalizedText object created using a constructor which argument defines its TextId property.

The translation object is used to set the label1 text of a label based on the session locale.

var myLocalizedText = new LocalizedText("Key1");
var translation = InformationModel.LookupTranslation(myLocalizedText);
var label1 = Owner.Get<Label>("Label1");
label1.Text = "Translation: " + translation.Text;
