Catalog Client Scripts containing an alert that would not get translated in portal

 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

       if(newValue == '1'){

           alert(getMessage('Test : English version'));

       }

}

 

The image below shows how the "alert(getMessage('Test : English version'))" will look like in action on a instance in Portuguese mode:

By design, Service Portal and Mobile client scripting environments do not support synchronous use of getMessage(). However, a getMessage() with a callback function can be used to translate text from getMessage(). To see an example of how the translation can be done, see the solution section next.

 

 

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);});
