Alternative to gs.getMessageLang()

gs.getMessageLang() checks the UI Message table [sys_ui_message]. Is there an alternative way to check for translation from the Translated Name / Field [sys_translated] or Translated Text [sys_translated_text] tables?

Most custom translations or translation done through localization framework are stored here. It would be helpful if there is command for it.

Hi,

Are you perhaps referring to?

gs.getMessage()

What other alternatives are you looking for or why if this is working, etc.

Alternatively, there's: https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0749769

gs.getMessageLang() works but it only gets it's translated text from UI Message table [sys_ui_message]. If you have custom translations using the localization framework, like Catalog item names, translations are located on another table.

I replied quickly before I read the article you posted 🙂

But it may serve my purpose. I'll try it. Thanks.
