# List the Global fields each language translates

> The Site settings and Site design fields that hold words a visitor reads (the tagline, the header and footer links and labels, the cookie banner), by name.

```ts TypeScript wrap theme={"dark"}
import { createSiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';

const site = createSiteClient();
const getGlobalTranslatedFields = await site.languages().getGlobalTranslatedFields();
```

```json 200 wrap theme={"dark"}
{
  "translated": [
    "tagline",
    "headerNav",
    "headerMoreLabel",
    "footerLinkGroups",
    "cookieTitle"
  ]
}
```

## In your app

A function makes the call on the client it is given, so your code passes the real one and a test passes a fake.

**1. Add the function**

```ts src/attract/get-global-translated-fields.ts theme={"dark"}
import type { SiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';

export async function getGlobalTranslatedFields(site: SiteClient) {
  return site.languages().getGlobalTranslatedFields();
}
```

**2. Call it**

A script makes the client once and calls the function:

```ts scripts/get-global-translated-fields.ts theme={"dark"}
import { createSiteClient } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk';
import { getGlobalTranslatedFields } from '../src/attract/get-global-translated-fields.ts';

const site = createSiteClient();
console.log(await getGlobalTranslatedFields(site));
```

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
node --env-file=.env scripts/get-global-translated-fields.ts
```

A route handler, a job or a queue worker calls it the same way.

Each language’s Global keeps its own value of these; every other Global field is shared, and a save in any language writes it to them all.

To translate a language’s header, footer and cookie banner, read its Global with `aposLocale` set to the language, translate these fields, and patch them back: send only these fields, so no shared setting changes. A link in them (`url`, `headerCtaUrl`, `cookiePolicyUrl`) is the language’s own too: point it at the page in that language.

> [accordion] Parameters
>
> None: call it with no arguments.

> [accordion] Returns
>
> A `GetGlobalTranslatedFieldsResponse`. The translated fields. Read its properties (`getGlobalTranslatedFields.translated`): each says whether the site always sends it.
>
> **translated** `readonly string[]`
>
> **Always sent.** The field names, as Global’s REST routes read and write them.

> [accordion] Errors
>
> Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below; catch only what you want to react to (see [Errors and testing](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/typescript/errors.md)).
>
> **AuthenticationFailed** `401`
>
> The API key is missing, malformed, unknown, disabled, expired or archived, or a request its signing mode requires to be signed is not.
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `siteMessage`, `errorName`, `data`.
>
> **Forbidden** `403`
>
> The API key lacks the scope this route needs (the message names it) or is used from outside its allowlist; or, on a route that answers 403 to everyone it refuses, the caller may not use it.
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `siteMessage`, `errorName`, `data`.
>
> **RateLimited** `429`
>
> The key used up its per-minute limit. Still, after the client’s own waits and retries.
>
> **Retried first:** Yes: the client waits `Retry-After` (1 s when absent; over 60 s it gives up at once) and retries, up to `retries` times (2 by default). **Read:** `retryAfter` (seconds, or null), `siteMessage`.
>
> **SiteError** `5xx`
>
> The site failed (or something in front of it did). Its logs say why.
>
> **Retried first:** A 502, 503 or 504: yes, after 0.5 s then 1 s. A 500: no. **Read:** `siteMessage`, `errorName`, `data`.
>
> **SiteUnreachable** `no answer`
>
> No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).
>
> **Retried first:** Yes, after 0.5 s then 1 s. **Read:** `reason`, `neverConnected`.
>
> **RequestNotSent** `not sent`
>
> The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of `..`); the site never saw it.
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `reason` (what to change).
>
> **SiteRequestFailed** `any other`
>
> Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).
>
> **Retried first:** No. **Read:** `reason`, `status`.
>
> **UnknownSite** `setup`
>
> `sites.forSite('acme')` named a slug your sites (`createSiteClients()`) don’t have.
>
> **Retried first:** No: nothing was sent. **Read:** `message`, `slug`.
>
> **SiteConfigurationError** `setup`
>
> The client’s settings are wrong: no `FETCHSKI_ATTRACT_URL` (or `baseUrl`), or a malformed API key.
>
> **Retried first:** No: nothing was sent. **Read:** `message` (what to fix).

## Behavior

* **Access:** an API key with `languages:read`, or `languages:all`, or `admin:all`, or a signed-in user holding the `languages:manage` permission. Other callers get 403.
* **Rate limit:** the key’s own reads-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 600); over it, 429 with `Retry-After`. The client waits and retries for you; you see `RateLimited` only if that runs out.
* **Retries:** a read is safe to repeat: the client retries it on no answer, a 502/503/504 and a 429.
* **Timeout:** 15 s per attempt by default; raise `timeout` (milliseconds) on the client for longer.

## Test it

It calls the function above with a fake client: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no settings or key are needed. Run it with `node --test`.

```ts tests/languages-getGlobalTranslatedFields.test.ts theme={"dark"}
import { test } from 'node:test';
import { fakeSite } from '@fetchski/attract-cms-sdk/testing';
import { getGlobalTranslatedFields } from '../src/attract/get-global-translated-fields.ts';

test('languages.getGlobalTranslatedFields', async () => {
  const site = fakeSite();
  await getGlobalTranslatedFields(site);
  site.assertCalled('languages.getGlobalTranslatedFields');
});
```
