Texts

For supporting simple translations of the web interface, MatrixWeb has the Text class. You can find all supported languages at LanguageConfig

One Text is build from multiple TextElement.

Example

TextElement englishTextElement = new TextElement(LanguageCode.EN, "english text");
TextElement germanTextElement = new TextElement(LanguageCode.DE, "deutscher text");

Text text = new Text(englishTextElement, germanTextElement);

There is also an implicit cast from string to Text. If you use that, the string will be the translation in all languages.

Text fromString = "This is a test text";
// Is the same as:
Text fromConstructor = new Text(new TextElement(LanguageCode.EN, "This is a test text")
                                new TextElement(LanguageCode.DE, "This is a test text"));

MatrixWeb will select the configured language out of the Text with the TextService. You can use it yourself too.

public class ExampleService{
    private Text _exampleText = new Text(new TextElement(LanguageCode.EN, "english text"),
                                         new TextElement(LanguageCode.DE, "deutscher text"));

    private TextService _textService;

    public ExampleService(TextService textService){
        _textService = textService;
    }

    public string GetText(){
        return _textService.GetTranslation(_exampleText);
    }
}
