It would appear you lack understanding in the importance of the extra_english.lang (or whatever language you're using) file in relation to the function provided to you.

As the description below the function describes, "asTextCategory" is the category name provided in your .lang file. "asTextEntry" is the entry name provided in your .lang file. Example of a lang file can be found here: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn...stom_story

Notice the "name" attribute for the CATEGORY and Entry tags. You pass the value of those name attributes in their appropriate parameter slots of the function provided to you. If a message is still not displayed on the screen by your script, then either your code logic is faulty or you spelled something incorrectly.

If it is the case that you are not a scripter, then you may never see a message on the screen.
