When using the translation manager I have ~8 different languages I want to add, I can’t figure out why but anytime I add a new translation I can’t get it to populate when changing the locale. For example, I have all 3 of these terms added to the manager, all the translations for all available languages are added, I show the locale of the session just in a text label above “Language” to confirm its the correct locale, the first term I added (Illuminated) translates in all languages fine. Adding Compact and Standard and I can’t get any of the language translations to work?

Just to reiterate - The translation works fine for the word illuminated just not the other two currently in my list, all 3 are just labels so i figured the TM would apply the translation to all of them. I can keep adding terms and see if those get translated. I have all the checkboxes set to Ignore in the TM. On 8.3 rc-1

Deleted the extra translations and then they started working. Not sure if when I re-added them if they are using the translation I deleted or not but I think its working now.

Can you get in contact with our support department so they can take a live look at your system and investigate further?

Will do. Also having an issue with drop-downs selects in 8.3, I have to click in a random spot of the middle of the dropdown exactly for it to work, even clicking on the arrow it doesn’t open. But only inside of a flex container. Otherwise its working as normal.
