Accessing Language Strings

[madtw]

is there a way to retrieve the language strings from xbmc? what would be nice is to be able to do something like:

xbmc.getlangstring( 375 )

and have it return the string from the strings.xml file for the language currently used by xbmc.

worst case, i would also settle for a xbmc.getlanguage() function that would return the current language selected and then i can parse the strings.xml file to find the appropriate strings. i think my first suggestion would be better since xbmc must have the file loaded already.

does something like this already exist? i didn't see it in the python_readme.txt file... i'd like to make my scripts language independent if possible.

or you can try to retrieve infos from the save data of xbmc in tdata
