Problems with language translations

Ignition

Good morning everyone.

I've been having trouble with translations for a while now (since 8.3 beta3). I have a series of labels containing the expression "translate("key")" that I use to translate from English to Italian and vice versa. I don't understand why it translates some terms while not others despite the correctness of the common keys. However, if I try to delete them and recreate them with a small difference (e.g. key --> Key), it works...

I noticed this problem when I switched from Ignition 8.1 to 8.3 beta3. I was hoping that now, with 8.3 Stable being released, this problem would be solved, but unfortunately it wasn't...

I also tried exporting the translation lists, deleting them all within Ignition, and reimporting them, but it didn't work.

Could anyone help me? The last solution would be to delete all the tags and recreate them, although I'd prefer not to do that :).

Thanks!

This isn't something we're aware of and we tested localization/translation pretty thoroughly in the migration from 8.1 to 8.3.

Are the settings in your translation manager the same? Check the 'Gear' icon on the right hand side of the translation manager interface in the designer:

There's settings in there to ignore capitalization/whitespace/etc - they should be preserved from 8.1 to 8.3 faithfully and lead to the same behavior, but maybe something's gone wrong there?

I checked, but the settings are the same.
They're all disabled, so I'm not missing anything.
The thing is, I can't figure out why some work and others don't...
