setting the langauge for translation inside a formula?

[jamie]

when runing a formula i need to translate some strings based on a language variable but it doesn't tell me how to in the documentation

https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/formula/language/#languagetranslate

if there any way to set this?

Not possible, will be implemented in v9.4 I think.

Meanwhile, I suggest creating a custom function.

ahh good stuff thats not tooo far away, btw i wasn't too sure what scope meant in there, it was linked to an entity?

if any one is in a hurry here is what i did to get this working

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\FormulaFunctions;
use Espo\Core\Formula\ArgumentList;
use Espo\Core\Formula\Functions\BaseFunction;
use Espo\Core\Formula\Processor;
use Espo\Core\Utils\Language\LanguageFactory;

class translateTo extends BaseFunction
{
public function __construct(
Processor $processor,
private LanguageFactory $languageFactory,
) {
$this->processor = $processor;
}
public function process(ArgumentList $args)
{
if (count($args) < 1) {
$this->throwTooFewArguments(2);
}
$args = $this->evaluate($args);
$language = $this->languageFactory->create($args[1]);
return $language->translate($args[0], 'snipits', 'snipits');
}
}

and then add it in here custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/formula.json and clear cache
