+### How to access localization labels from Java code?
+
+In Freemarker, [localization](./advanced-usages.md#localization-and-internationalization) labels are accessed using the `${labels(key, ...)}` notation. The following would be a Java equivalent:
+
+```
+import io.jans.agama.engine.service.LabelsService;
+...
+
+lbls = io.jans.service.cdi.util.CdiUtil.bean(LabelsService.class);
+String label = lbls.get("<label key>", ... optional extra params);
+```
+
+Note the localization context (language, country, etc.) used in such a call is based on the HTTP request that is taking place when the code is invoked.

 ### Can Agama code be called from Java?
 
 No. These two languages are supposed to play roles that should not be mixed, check [here](./agama-best-practices.md#about-flow-design).
