V7: Translations + placeholder variables issue

[MClementson]

I'm hoping someone can clarify how and when the translation features happen as I'm having an issue with using the translation features in conjunction with Javascript and the skin placeholder variables. I hope this cutdown version of what I'm trying to develop will demonstrate:

1) In the skin editor I have created a hotspot template that has a text label for the hotspot title. I've also created a text variable called var_title_copy and there's a text label that displays that value. With a mouse enter event var_title_copy is set to the hotspot title placeholder $(hs) value and then echoed to the console using console.log(pano.getVariableValue('var_title_copy'))

2) In operation, the visual label displays the translated text, but the text echoed to the console is the original English title.

3) My questions are - is this expected behaviour or a bug? and how can I send the translated text to a Javascript function?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

I have a feeling that the translations aren't actually written to the variable, rather the original language is translated in the skin. So when you send it to the console it's sending what's stored in the variable but not the translation.

hi,
maybe something to do with my forum post above, i think the skin seems to not have any language code until you actually change it in the skin?
best,
