Return Value

•When used with literals, looks for and returns a translation in the frs_def_translations table.
Example
$(((((local("Change: ") + ChangeNumber) + " (") + local(Status)) + ")"))
If the text in English is "Change: 10311 (Logged)" and the current user has French (France) as their locale, this function returns "Modifier: 10311 (consignés)".
