How can I use the component generated language variables into JDOM output?

In JDom, you can call getExtension() to return the current component alias 'com_xxxx'.

With that, you can reconstruct a language var.

Second possibility is to send them in parameters of the control that need it (declare them in __construct)
(see example in html.form.input.select)
Coding is now a piece of cake

Thanks, admin you pointed me to the right direction.
for anyone who may need it, this is how I did:

added the following code in PHP file of the jdom item:
$language = JFactory::getLanguage();
$language->load('com_XXXX');


then you can just use the variable. for example:

$strYES = "COMXXXX_FIELD_ONLINE";
$strNO = "COMXXXX_FIELD_OFFLINE";

for reference:

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
