Change the email language in the email pipeline from English to Chinese based on the selected language.  
I have added a script before the alarm notification block and written the script below.

```python

# Step 1: Get the locale (defaults to 'en' if not set)
locale = alarmEvent.get("locale") or "en"

# Step 2: Extract common alarm event values
displayPath = alarmEvent.get("displayPath", "")
eventTime = system.date.format(alarmEvent.get("eventTime"), "dd:MM:yyyy - HH:mm:ss")
priority = alarmEvent.get("priority", "")
setpoint = alarmEvent.get("SetpointA", "")
eventValue = alarmEvent.get("eventValue", "")
eventState = alarmEvent.get("eventState", "")

# Step 3: Create localized HTML email body
if locale == "zh":
    emailBody = u"""
    <html>
        <body>

        eventState=eventState
    )

# Step 4: Store it in pipelineVars to be used in Email Notification block
pipelineVars["emailBody"] = emailBody

```

After that, I have added the notification pipeline. In the notification pipeline message section, I passed the parameter `{emailBody}`

 ![22](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/f/7f4906156b7dd3a5344f3d3faab8506dc42d1562.png)

Now, my email is sent, but it passes NULL data. If I remove the script and pass the message in HTML format, it sends the message accurately. However, we require the message in multiple languages. What can I do?

</div>

in your script pipelineVars is local to this script so the email notification block does not have access to this. Try setting the email Body like this `event.setGlobal("emailBody", emailBody)` Then in your notification block you can reference the email body like above as `{emailBody}`

and finally pass notification massage below code.

now this better i think for understanding.

Have you checked the gateway logs for errors? I did a simple test with this code and there are many errors. Which is why the **whole notification returns null**.  
Are you running this inside the actual script block in the pipeline?  
Like this.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/9/199f6a2ab6733813efe80397b060f540df67bfca.png)

In your script you have **alarmEvent.get()** which is not valid its **event.get()** with only one argument. When using it in the pipeline scripting block

Locale is not valid parameter in the event object unless you are passing it in somewhere else. I am not sure the full context of this script.  
Here below is what I tested

```python
def handleAlarm(event):
	logger = system.util.getLogger("pipeline")
	# Get locale (default to English)
	locale = event.get("locale")
	logger.infof("locale: %s", locale)
	# Extract alarm values
	displayPath = event.get("displayPath")
	eventTime = system.date.format(event.get("eventTime"), "dd:MM:yyyy - HH:mm:ss")
	priority = event.get("priority")
	setpoint = event.get("SetpointA")
	eventValue = event.get("eventValue")
	eventState = event.get("eventState")
	
	# Build localized email body
	if locale == "zh":
		emailBody = u"""

```

This Code generates the html and passes it correctly but locale is always null as it doesn't exist.  
Check your gateway logs for errors. If you want to chek if something exists in the event object you can use the `event.contains()` method. `event.contains('locale')` returns false. In my case because it is never exists.

Hello,  
instead of locale I passed label in below script and bind tag to there. but I received massage in English only.  
I'm not sure if I'm on the right track with the translation—we're doing this for the first time in the alarm pipeline notification.  
Could you please provide the proper solution with an example?

My main concern is how to translate the outgoing alarm message according to the selected language.  
If possible, could we arrange a Teams meeting at a time that works best for you? Please let me know when we can connect to find the perfect solution.

```python
	logger = system.util.getLogger("pipeline")
#	
# # Get label for translation (default to English)
	label = event.get("label")
	logger.infof("label: %s", label)		

	# Extract alarm values
	
	displayPath = event.get("displayPath")
	eventTime = system.date.format(event.get("eventTime"), "dd:MM:yyyy - HH:mm:ss")
	priority = event.get("priority")
	setpoint = event.get("SetpointA")
	eventValue = event.get("eventValue")
	eventState = event.get("eventState")

	# Build localized email body based on label

If your force label to equal zh in the script you will see the alternate language. I had done this in my test. The loggers in place should show you what is being passed into the label. If you you still need assistance then please reach out to support.

Hi,

I have done some R&D and created two email profiles. If the selected language is "zh", profile 1 sends the email, and if "en" is selected, profile 2 sends the email.

However, in this case, the description of alarm, alarm type, and transitioned state are not translated into Chinese, although all the other data is correctly translated.

I did not use any script block in this case.  
I have attached a snapshot for your reference.
