[TYPO3-ect] locallang_db.xml not translated by lib/div

[Michael Knoll]

Hi list,

I have a translation problem with lib/div. I have the following string, 
which I would like to translate:

LLL:EXT:mklv_community/locallang_db.xml:tx_mklvcommunity_privacy_setting.privacy_flag.I.0

I need to do that in my model. I therefore overwrite my constructor and 
use tx_lib_translator inside my model like that:

function tx_mklvcommunity_models_userPrivacy
	($param1 = null, $param2 = null) {
		$this->translator = new tx_lib_translator($param1);			 
$this->translator->setPathToLanguageFile(
		  $param1->configurations['pathToDbLanguageFile']);
		parent::tx_lib_objectBase($param1, $param2);
	}

According to a var_dump, the path to the language file is set correctly.

Now I try to translate my content with the following call to the 
translator object:

$tmp['description'] = $this->translator->translate($privacyItem[0]);

But all I get is the untranslated content. Can anybody tell me, how I 
can translate my texts with my locallang files?!? Does this work at all 
with lib/div???

Thanks for your assistance!
