EMailPreSend Hook Language Translation

[HancoEuropa]

Hello!

I'm using Lang::trans within a php hook for EMailPreSend.

I set 'credited' in each language override file:

$_LANG['locale'] = "en_GB";
$_LANG['credited'] = "has been credited";

and

$_LANG['locale'] = "ro_RO";
$_LANG['credited'] = ": tranzacția a fost creditată";

Then, in the hook:
 

$merge_fields = [];
$paymentMethodTitle = "Bank Transfer";
$newSubject = $paymentMethodTitle.' '.Lang::trans('credited');
$merge_fields['custom_subject'] = $newSubject;
$vars = array_merge( $vars, $merge_fields );
return $vars;

In the Email Template, the subject is {$custom_subject}, which shows $newSubject variable just fine.

But I guess Lang::trans doesn't use the client's language.

The email template (body) uses the client's language without issue, but ... how in the world do I get Lang::trans in EMailPreSend to use the client's language?

I just want the client's language to be used when sending the client an email (call me silly!). 

Thanks for any clues!

Hmm maybe fish out the client id somewhere and go get the language from there ... no idea.
