1: Retrieve the user's language preferences, you can get it by using the property of LocalizationService.RobloxLocaleID or LocalizationService.SystemLocaleID, these returns a string.
2: Get a Translator Instance for the specified player using the LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayer() constructor, this will return the Translator Instance which provides the translations.
Note: LocalizationService only provides to get the locale IDs and get a translator, and that translator will lookup to a LocalizationTable object
3: After retrieving a Translator Instance, you can use Translate:FormatByKey() in a LocalizationTable or use Translate:Translate(), this will need context which is the source of the GUI text, then the text you need to translate.
After doing these steps, this will: call the LocalizationService to return a Translator Instance, invoke functions from the Translator to provide translations which in turn will lookup to the keys, context, and string to provide the translation.
