Hi All,

I’m using an working app to create an own app I can’t find any info on the following code snipped:

```auto
self.homey.__()

```

It always returns NULL.

Best regards

Someone any idea?

Best regards,

Hi @robertklep ,

Thank you for the reference. The resolution was not really what I expected, but it clarifies a lot. null means the key was not found.

Best regards,
