Setting a language for a block of Gosu code

You can set a specific language in any Gosu code block by wrapping the Gosu code in any of the following methods.

// First method - Sets language only
gw.api.util.LocaleUtil.runAsCurrentLanguage(alternateLanguage, \ -> { code } )

// Second method - Sets both language and region
gw.api.util.LocaleUtil.runAsCurrentLocaleAndLanguage(alternateLocale, alternateLanguage, \ -> { code } )

Note: The second method sets both region and language at the same time. This topic covers setting the language only.

A typical use of this feature is to override the current language that the Gosu code block uses by default. The default current language is specified by the current user or the DefaultApplicationLanguage parameter in config.xml. If neither is set, PolicyCenter uses the browser language setting.

Method parameters

The two listed methods use some, or all, of the following parameters.

alternateLocale: An object of type ILocale that represents a regional format from the LocaleType typelist. Specify a GWLocale object for this parameter.
alternateLanguage: An object of type ILocale that represents a language from the LanguageType typelist. Specify a GWLanguage object for this parameter.
\ -> { code }: A Gosu block as a GWRunnable object—the Gosu code to run in a different locale or language.
