XBMC Text are not displaying

Question

I'm working on my python script as I would like to change the language using xml when pressing on the enter button of the keyboard.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <strings>
        <string id="32000">Hello UK</string>
    </strings>

    <control type="label">
        <description>My hello label</description>
        <posx>20</posx>
        <posy>20</posy>
        <width>180</width>
        <height>248</height>
        <align>middle</align>
        <font>font12</font>
        <textcolor>white</textcolor>
        <visible>true</visible>
        <label>$LOCALIZE[SCRIPT32000]</label>
    </control>

Here is the python:

import xbmc
import xbmcgui
import xbmcaddon

#get actioncodes from keyboard.xml
ACTION_ENTER = 7

class MyClass(xbmcgui.WindowXML):
  def onAction(self, action):
    if action == ACTION_ENTER:
      if image1_enabled:
         my_hello_string = ADDON.getLocalizedString(32000)

I have got a problem with my python script, because when I press on the enter button, there are no text display on the screen. There are no error on the xbmc logs. I want to add the label to get the strings that I stored in xml to display the strings on the skins. Not sure if I have missing something?

If that is your complete code, it looks like you're not doing anything with the class. You might need to add to the end of your Python code something like:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    w = MyClass("myclass.xml")
    w.doModal()
