Calling tr(...) (translate) from a static function.

Ajrarn777

It seems that the tr( ) function for translation is a member of the Object class. In my case, I'm creating static utility function to help translating some complicated stuff (date). Is there a way to call the tr( ) function from a static function ?

Also, I need to know that is the current language used. My date translation function must know this to do proper formating.

thanks.

You could create a class that extends Object, and make your utility function a method of that class.

Yes, but the goal of the utility function is not having to create a class.

I want to do this: var textDate = MyMisc.FormatLongDate( d )

And NOT this : var tmpMisc = MyMisc.new ( ) var textDate = tmpMisc.FormatLongDate( d ) tmpMisc.free ( )

Static method call doesn't need object instantiation.
