TYPO3 Extbase code for pi_getLL?

Question

in pi based Extension I have: $this->pi_getLL('languagekey') to get my translated variable.

What is the Extbase code for that?

I know how to do this in Fluid Template, but I need it in the Repository.

Answer 1

Check this clue, it suggests that this should work:

Tx_Extbase_Utility_Localization::translate($key, $extensionName, $arguments=NULL)

that should do the trick as well:

$GLOBALS['LANG']->sL('LLL:EXT:tt_news/locallang.xml:cms_layout.not_configured');

BTW, sometimes easiest solution is checking how does ViewHelper which you know work. As I can see Translate VH uses the same method, check it in render(...) method of:

/typo3/sysext/fluid/Classes/ViewHelpers/TranslateViewHelper.php

Answer 2

In TYPO3 6.2x or later, you can get label in controller like this:

\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\LocalizationUtility::translate('your_label_key','your_extensionName');
