How to access Yii2 translation array?

Question

I was wondering if there is a method to access the translation (i18n) array during runtime. I need access to it to in order to flip the array, and translate a few things back to the source language. (Need this to perform SQL queries on the DB, based on foreign language user input.)

Many thanks, Andras

This was my final solution, though does not look pretty.

$arr = include(Yii::getalias(Yii::$app->i18n->translations['app']['basePath'] . "/" . Yii::$app->language . "/app.php"));
