Language Table Keywords and VBA

Language Table Keywords and VBA

I have a static text element in a picture, and I need to set the text dynamically from the language table. Below is the VBA function I created to test this:
Public Sub testvba()
    Dim zVariables As Variables
    Dim ztest As variable
    Dim ztest2 As variable
    Dim tint As Integer
    Dim tstr As String
    Dim tvar As Variant
    
    Dim zDownTimePicture As DynPicture
    Dim zDownTimeText As Element
    
    Set zDownTimePicture = thisProject.DynPictures.Item("3-ViewZone-1")
    Set zDownTimeText = zDownTimePicture.Elements.Item("testvbatext")
    
    Set zVariables = thisProject.Variables
    Set ztest = zVariables.Item("testvba")
    Set ztest2 = zVariables.Item("testvba2")
    
    tint = CInt(ztest.Value)
    tstr = "@alm" & tint
    'MsgBox (tstr)
    'MsgBox (zDownTimeText.DynProperties("Text"))
    ztest2.Value = tstr
    
   zDownTimeText.DynProperties("Text") = tstr
   zDownTimeText.Update
End Sub

When I run the VBA macro, the static text element is not updated.
Is there a way to read keywords from the language table directly? Otherwise, how do I set the text in a static text element to a keyword from a language table with VBA?
