is there any analog of LabelUtils.GetLabel(BuiltIncategory) earlier than 2020?

Hi everyone,

Is there any analog of the method LabelUtils.GetLabel for BuiltInCategory? It has been introduced only in Revit 2020, but I need to show the translated list of categories in 2019 and earlier. Thank you in advance!

I should think that for all the categories available in the document, you can say:

    void BuiltInCategoryNames( Document doc )
    {
      Categories categories = doc.Settings.Categories;

      Array bics = Enum.GetValues(
        typeof( BuiltInCategory ) );

      foreach( BuiltInCategory bic in bics )
      {
        try
        {
          Category cat = categories.get_Item( bic );

          Debug.Print( cat.Name );
        }
        catch( Exception )
        {
        }
      }
    }

Yes, it was easy, Category.Name shows a translated name of category. It could be guessed by myself 🙂

Thank you Jeremy!
