Sorry Anna,

I thought you were doing a client script.

For server side scripts (business rules, UI actions, etc) there's no Messages field and you use the gs.getMessage() call.

For best results, go to System UI> Messages and create your translated messages. For example,

key=first_level_of_approval, Message=First level of approval

Now in your script...

ret += gs.getMessage('first_level_of_approval');
