Dears, I notice the **system.util.modifyTranslation** is not available from perspective side (8.0.3 release). At this time is there a way to dinamically modify a translation term from the client interface? If not, when it will be added? Thank you, Andrea ---

It’s not ideal, but this code should work for now (_only_ from the Gateway/Perspective): ```auto from org.apache.commons.lang3 import LocaleUtils from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.i18n.translation import TranslationPackageDiff translationLocale = LocaleUtils.toLocale("en_US") modifications = TranslationPackageDiff() modifications.addTranslation("term", translationLocale, "translation") IgnitionGateway.get().getLocalizationManager().applyDiff(modifications) ``` ---

Thank you. it works! What about the temporary workaround for the **system.util.translate** function? Best, Andrea ---

```auto from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway translations = IgnitionGateway.get().getLocalizationManager().loadFullPackage() translation = translations.get(, "term") ``` `translations` will be an instance of a [`TranslationPackage`](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/795/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/i18n/translation/TranslationPackage.html). ---

Dear Paul, after the term translation, should I force a refresh for the TranslationPackage? I see the right translations from the Translation Manager inside the Designer, but not in the Perspective client. Where am I wrong? Thanks, Andrea ---

I need to translate some term from a module in the **gateway scope only**. I don't find how to access to the right manager for translation ? from the gatewayContext ? ---

The localization manager class isn't in the public SDK, for some reason. So you'll have to use reflection. ---

Is there any reason you can just supply a localization bundle in your GatewayHook?
