regarding servicenow translation in flow designer

[venkyk1309]

Hello Everyone,  @ankurbawisk , @Mark Roethof 
I have designed a flow designer i am taking the description from maintain item by using the script in the script box.. to remove the HTML tags.

var catItem = fd_data.trigger.request_item.cat_item;
var desc = catItem.description; // Strip HTML tags from the description
if (desc) {
var strippedDesc = desc.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '').trim();
return strippedDesc;
}
return '';

I have used the above script it is working fine for the user whose language is English, the description is auto populating in English itself. While the user language is not English means (German, French, Dutch) the description field is populating in English only.

Note: 1. My maintain item is translated and it has translated texts as well.
2. When i impersonated the user, whose language is not English i can in the portal the description is visible in their language.

Thanks,
Venkatesh

Hi @venkyk1309,

You can use getDisplayValue() to retrieve the translated description:

var catItem = fd_data.trigger.request_item.cat_item;
var desc = catItem.getDisplayValue('description'); // Strip HTML tags from the description
if (desc) {
       var strippedDesc = desc.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '').trim();
       return strippedDesc;
}
return '';
