String localization in Channel

Question

I want to perform localization for my channel from English to Spanish Mexican,

for that I had written translations.xml file as..

and in brs file I am creating a label named ..

m.display_content1 = m.top.findNode("display_content1")

m.display_content1.text = tr("Everything you like in one place!")

I had placed the translations.xml file in

Still in output I am getting "Everything you like in one place!" as output instead of text in Transalations.xml file.
Can anyone please help in resolve this issue. ?

I haven't used string localization, so I probably shouldn't be trying to answer and I'll apologize in advance if the following seems obvious, but what to you get from ifDeviceInfo GetCurrentLocale()? It will only translate if the current locale is "es_MX" as far as I can tell.

Hi&nbsp;renojim&nbsp;&nbsp;ifDeviceInfo GetCurrentLocale()&nbsp;will return the current Language code of device,&nbsp;Like in device language setting if you change language to English it will return en_US if you change it to espanol for me it is showing es_MX i.e Mexican Spanish.

Ok, just checking that you're actually getting "es_MX" back when you're expecting tr() to return the translated text.&nbsp; Hopefully someone that's used it will chime in.
