Hello,

I am adding a second language to our interface and am having to resize a lot of text to accommodate the second language due to many words and phrases being more lengthy. I have some labels that are wrapped. Previously I created two labels and stacked them one of the other but this causes translation issues due to reordering. I then used the precursor as described [here](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=4688&p=9890&hilit=label+wrap&sid=b2b48dfc0ea2dd38e74b85351897d019#p9890) but this causes the second language to be three lines instead of two (each word got its own line). I am looking at using the text area component but I cannot get the background to be transparent. Any suggestions? Thank you!

You can’t make it transparent, but you can bind it to the background color of the container.
