Is it possible to dynamically choose language?

Hello. I was going to use Fluent to add translations to my Telegram bot.
When a message arrives, my code gets user's language code to get a string on desired language.
However, I didn't find an option "get string in {language}" in Python-fluent.
Am I missing something? If there's no such feature, is it planned at all? I'm looking for a user-friendly gettext alternative, which support choosing language on-the-fly for any string.
We defer to applications for that level.
From an architecture POV, you want to cache Localization instances. And as with any cache, it's very application-specific when it's a good time to purge an entry from the cache.
@Pike Could you please provide a basic example how to change language on the fly?
I'm looking at https://www.projectfluent.org/python-fluent/fluent.runtime/stable/usage.html#using-fluentlocalization, but it doesn't show how to choose language while getting a string by key.
You would write a higher-level code that took care of that. At the level of the Localization class, you can't switch languages.
Thank you for the answer. I guess I must be looking for something else then.
