Jelly Script Help - Field label value and language

[miriamberge]

New to Jelly Scripting and would really appreciate help!

In my cart layout, I have added a new Widget Macro to Item Ordering Widget to display a custom field in my catalog item table called Delivery Standard.   The script below is working (with help from SN).   I need the label of this field to display based on the user's language.

When I created the new field, I edited the label properties and added French so that when a French user logs in, they see "Norme de livraison" for the field.

How do I refer to this field label below, if I don't want to hardcode the French and English label values?

Conversely, if I had to get the current user's language preference and write code to check that first and then display the html accordingly, how do I get the current user's language preference (ie. I can write a g:evaluate, but what do I put in my set to pass to my evaluate)?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

      <j:set var="jvar_id" value="${jvar_cat_item.getID();}" />

<g:evaluate var="jvar_delivery_standard" jelly="true" expression="

  var itemGr = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');

  itemGr.get(jelly.jvar_id);

  itemGr.u_delivery_standard;                                  

  " />

<j:if test="${jvar_delivery_standard > 0}">

              <tr>

                      <td id="sc_delivery_time_label_cell"><strong>Delivery Standard</strong></td>

                      <td id="sc_delivery_time_cell">${jvar_delivery_standard}</td>

              </tr>

</j:if>

</j:jelly>

Very grateful for any help that can be provided!

You can try using the gs.getMessage functionality:

Thank you for the quick response - much appreciated!   I have changed my code to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

      <j:set var="jvar_id" value="${jvar_cat_item.getID();}" />

<g:evaluate var="jvar_delivery_standard" jelly="true" expression="

  var itemGr = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');

  itemGr.get(jelly.jvar_id);

  itemGr.u_delivery_standard;                                  

  " />

<j:if test="${jvar_delivery_standard > 0}">

              <tr>

                      <td id="sc_delivery_time_label_cell"><strong>${gs.getMessage("Delivery Standard")}</strong></td>

                      <td id="sc_delivery_time_cell">${jvar_delivery_standard}</td>

              </tr>

</j:if>

</j:jelly>

When I switch my language preference though, it still says Delivery Standard. If I go into my request item and right click on the field label and select "Configure label", I can see my translated value.   Do I need to put this translated value somewhere else in order for it to get picked up?

Thanks!

It seems to be hidden in the messages table (sys_ui_message), see
