this worked for me

it should work for you as well

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    getMessage("This is my alert", function(msgString) {
        alert(msgString);
    });

}

Output

Hi @kali 

Refer : Client Script 'Messages' and System UI > Messages

If this script is running inside the Service Portal or Workspace environments, the standard synchronous getMessage('key') syntax often returns the key instead of the translated value on the first try.

Refer: KB0696905 client script function getMessage() does not return expected translated text on Service Po... 

Resolution

This is a sample code that would work with the Example given in the Symptoms section of this article. Replace the "alert(getMessage('Test : English version'))" by the following:

getMessage('Test : English version', function(msg){alert(msg);});
