How to localize Photoshop layer names

Hello MSSDedalus,

the returned result from the called extend is in form of a object; so you should add this code to the extendscript (just a example):

var xml = '<object>';

var xml = xml += '<property id="strMessage"><string>'+message+'</string></property>';

var xml = xml += '</object>';

and then return the xml variable instead of the message one.

Then, you should have to modify the actionscript code as well:

var result:SyncRequestResult = CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("GetBackground");

var oResult:Object;

    if((SyncRequestResult.COMPLETE == result.status) && result.data)

    {

     oResult = result.data as Object;

     //Make sure oResult has the property you are expecting

       if(oResult.hasOwnProperty("strMessage"))

       {

        var localizedString:String = oResult.strMessage;

     }

    }

This can be found on the official documentation too.

Best,

Luca

Have you tried this? (no separate jsx required)

var message:String = HostObject.getRoot(HostObject.extensions[0]).localize( "$$$/LayerName/Background=Background");
