How to call "Message Key"(Created in sys_ui_message) in Mail Script.

I have created 2 messages with same key name in sys_ui_message table.

One message for "English" and the other one for "Japanese". I have selected language as English and Japanese.

When I'm using above mail script for Japanese notification also getting English Message. Please suggest

Message Key - Japanese

Message Key - English

Mail Script

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {

var link = gs.getProperty('property.name');

var msg=gs.getMessage('Click Here For URL');

template.print('<a href="'+link+'">'+msg+'</a>');

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

When I'm using above mail script for japanese notification also getting English Message. Please suggest

Hi, why don't you try creating new message key and test?

Hi there,

Within mail script, you could consider applying getMessageLang().

gs.getMessageLang('message_key', 'language_id');

2021-07-01 Return a message in a specific language, gs.getMessageLang()

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the Reply. It is working Now.

I have created 2 notification one for English user and the other one for Japanese user.  I have created 2 mail script one for English user and the other one for Japanese user. Is it possible to add both the English and Japanese message key in single mail script instead of creating 2 mail script.

Please find the below mail script. I have modified the script as you suggested.

Mail Script English

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {

var link = gs.getProperty('property.name');

var msg=gs.getMessageLang('Click Here For URL','en');

template.print('<a href="'+link+'">'+msg+'</a>');

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Mail Script Japanese

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {

var link = gs.getProperty('property.name');

var msg=gs.getMessageLang('Click Here For URL','ja');

template.print('<a href="'+link+'">'+msg+'</a>');

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

s it possible to add both the English and Japanese message key in single mail script instead of creating 2 mail script. Please suggest

"Is it possible to add both the English and Japanese message key in single mail script instead of creating 2 mail script."

Theoretically, yes you could do so. You could for example query for the language of the user you are sending the notification to, or using the language of the user who initiates the notification.

Issue though... when the notification is send by someone with English language to someone with different language. Or when the notification is send to multiple recipients and not all have the same language. For that you do need to have multiple notifications or triggering notifications scripted, through events, etc.
