Syntax

String result = Functions.translateToken(String key) 
String result = Functions.translateToken(String key, String [] args)

Parameters

key

The category and token (index key) for the message to retrieve, in the form: "#category.token_name".

String [] args = {"nice", "walk"};
String msg = Functions.translateToken("#custom.go_msg", args));
    // ==> "It's a nice day for a walk."
