Hi,

I'm using the [system.util.modifyTranslation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.modifyTranslation) to modify some terms at the frontend. The modification are immediately updated into the designer translation manager but are only available in the perspective session after a save was done at the designer level.

Is this a normal behavior ? is there a way to force the reload of the translation terms via scripting or to save the project via scripting.

I'm on version 8.1.23 under ubuntu.

Thanks

[PGriffith](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/PGriffith) has a module that has a function that allows you to script in a "system.project.save()".  
(Not tried it myself, but description says "Essentially pressing the save button")  
Is that what you are looking for?
