[TYPO3-dev] How to get language label for a custom table from plugin code?

[Ricardo Scachetti Pereira]

    Hi Tapio,

    Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Let me explain my case a little better.

    I have a field called status in a custom table called 
tdwg_standards. This field is defined in $TCA as having type select. 
Here is its definition:

        "status" => Array (
            "exclude" => 1,
            "label" => 
"LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status",
            "config" => Array (
                "type" => "select",
                "items" => Array (
                    
Array("LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status.I.0", "0", 
t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath("tdwg")."selicon_tx_tdwg_standards_status_0.gif"),
                    
Array("LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status.I.1", "1", 
t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath("tdwg")."selicon_tx_tdwg_standards_status_1.gif"),
                    
Array("LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status.I.2", "2", 
t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath("tdwg")."selicon_tx_tdwg_standards_status_2.gif"),
                    
Array("LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status.I.3", "3", 
t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath("tdwg")."selicon_tx_tdwg_standards_status_3.gif"),
                    
Array("LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status.I.4", "4", 
t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath("tdwg")."selicon_tx_tdwg_standards_status_4.gif"),
                ),
                "size" => 1,
                "maxitems" => 1,
            )
        ),

    My question then is, how can I get the language label for the key 
"LLL:EXT:tdwg/locallang_db.php:tx_tdwg_standards.status.I.0" inside a 
plugin code?

    There is a tslib_pibase::pi_getLL() function that gives back a 
language label, but as I understand it, it is restricted to the labels 
defined by the plugin.

    Is the question a bit clearer now? I hope so.

    Regards,

Ricardo

PS. While I was writing this reply I did another google search and found 
this: 
http://typo3.org/fileadmin/typo3api-3.8.0/d9/d7e/classlanguage.html. I 
am probably looking for one of these functions: language::getLL() or 
::getLLL(), right? Another question then is: how do I get an instance of 
language class from my plugin code? Am I getting close?
