Here are a couple of examples. Say we have the following two parameters, taken directly from the dotlrn package. -
| Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
|---|---|
| class_instance_pages_csv | #dotlrn.class_page_home_title#,Simple 2-Column;#dotlrn.class_page_calendar_title#,Simple 1-Column;#dotlrn.class_page_file_storage_title#,Simple 1-Column |

Then, depending on how we retrieve the value, here's what we get: -
| Command used to retrieve Value | Retrieved Value |
|---|---|
| parameter::get -localize -parameter class_instances_pages_csv | Kurs Startseite,Simple 2-Column;Kalender,Simple 1-Column;Dateien,Simple 1-Column |
| parameter::get -localize -parameter departments_pretty_name | Abteilung |

The value in the rightmost column in the table above is the value returned by an invocation of parameter::get. Note that for localization to happen you must use the -localize flag.
