-Translates an AyaNova translation key into the language indicated by the current logged in user or the server default:
+Translates a pre-specified (see below) AyaNova translation key into the language indicated by the current logged in user or the server default:
 
 ```{{ ayT 'Customer' }}```
 
+Note that you need to tell AyaNova which translation keys to pre-fetch before rendering the report by inserting a call to the function `ayGetTranslations` in the ayPrepareData function in the Prepare Data tab.  All translation keys required need to be specified in this manner.
+
+For example, let's say you wanted to display the translation for Customer and WorkOrder, you would insert a call to get the translations as follows:
+
+```javascript
+async function ayPrepareData(ayData){ 
+    await ayGetTranslations(["Customer","WorkOrder"]);        
+    return ayData;
+}
+```
+ayGetTranslations expects an array of all the translation keys that will be used on the report.  If any are missing you will receive an error message about the missing keys.
+
 You can view all the translations keys available in the [Translations](adm-translations.md) form.
