[HELP] Sheet Workers and Foreign Languages

I fear the answer is, "Sorry...can't be done" but in the off chance I'm wrong... There are times when a sheet worker will update a field with text (use case: Savage Worlds short sword do Str+d6 damage) in this case, "Str." I recognize that Str is great for English, but may be inappropriate for French or Portuguese, etc. Is it possible to leverage the translation file to write the text to the field using the translation file for the appropriate language? I can't use the datai18n on the field itself, because it may not always be Str, perhaps it's Spi (spirit). I could use the actual value of the strength field, but then that would necessitate an update to the field anytime Str changes value. Any thoughts on how I might accomplish this?

Greetings Finderski, Indeed you can. :) You can pull the keys themselves from the translation file with  getTranslationByKey([key]) . Also there is  getTranslationLanguage()   which the sheet workers can use to know what language the sheet is being used in. You could hardcode different results based on this potentially.  Depending on your scenario these two things will likely accomplish what you're looking to do.  I've never used them but I would be interested to see your results.

Awesome! I'll give it a try and report back. :)

Can confirm that this works very well. I use it in a couple places in the Official Starfinder sheet.

If so, how do I specify which key to get? I was looking at the documentation and those functions look like they can be used independently?

You shouldn't need to use getTranslationLanguage(). getTranslationByKey() will get you the translation string in the current language set by the player.

Awesome! Thanks for your help, everyone! :)
