We’re opening some popups with a Popup Action through an onActionPerformed button event.

We’ve noticed the titles aren’t beeing translated by the translation manager in Ignition 8.0.16. Is this a bug and is there a way to translate these titles in the ‘Configure Popup Action’ window or do we have to open the popup with a script instead?

This does indeed sound sounds like a bug. I’ll open a ticket for it. As a workaround, you will indeed need to opt for using the Script Action and translate the term to be used for the title prior to opening the Popup.

Actually, you could bind a custom property to the term you want to translate, translate the term in an expression, and then set the Popup Action to use that property.
