How to Use Internalization i18n in a Controller in SAPUI5?

Question

Could anyone please explain how it's possible to use an i18n text in a setValueStateText method in a controller?

oTP.setValueStateText("{i18n>co_Maximal_60_h}");

The error message in the dialog shows only {i18n>co_Maximal_60_h} and not the real text.

which control do you use? and is it in a view or a controller? — n01dea, Aug 18 '17 at 16:37
in this case a MaskInput. yes, it is in a controller! Thanks! — user2405095, Aug 18 '17 at 17:00

The resource bundle is in the following way accessible in a controller:

const oResourceBundle = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle();

oTP.setValueStateText(oResourceBundle.getText("co_Maximal_60_h"));

You cannot set the binding string via setter method. Here you have 2 options:

to set the binding right in the view (use the same string but in XML)
to utilize the ResourceBundle:

const oResourceBundle = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle();
    
const sTxt = oResourceBundle.getText("co_Maximal_60_h");
        
oTP.setValueStateText(sTxt);

I'd recommend to add a reusable method to your BaseController with a name i18n, so whenever you need it, call this.i18n("i18n_key").
