How to internationalize universalActions label in a Google Workspace Add-On

I set up a Gmail addon with an universalActions menu. The label should be defined by Session.getActiveUserLocale() in any way.

Since variables are not allowed in the manifest file (appscript.json) I have no idea how to do it.

I was looking around for solutions but it seems there are none. e.g. Localizing Google Add-ons

Localizing Google Add-ons

Solution

  • Since there does not seem to be a solution I removed the universalActions completely from manifest file appsscript.json.

    To get the menu in different languages I added it on each card.

    return CardService.newCardBuilder()
    .addCardAction(CardService.newCardAction()
      .setText('test').setOnClickAction(CardService.newAction()
        .setFunctionName('testfunction')))
    .build();
