TextFilterTranslatedResult
Inherits from: Instance → Object
A TextFilterTranslatedResult is the object returned by TextService:FilterAndTranslateStringAsync(). It bundles the filtered source text together with filtered translations of that text into each requested target locale.
Read TextFilterTranslatedResult.SourceText and TextFilterTranslatedResult.SourceLanguage for the filtered original text and its language, call TextFilterTranslatedResult:GetTranslationForLocale() to retrieve the filtered translation for a single locale, or call TextFilterTranslatedResult:GetTranslations() to retrieve all of them at once.
Instances of this class cannot be created, parented, or replicated; they are only produced by the engine as the return value of the filtering call. That call, TextService:FilterAndTranslateStringAsync(), is deprecated, so new work should filter and translate chat through TextChatService instead.
