Why is the single value visualization's "underLabel" option not able to be localized?

[simpkins1958]

Using the instructions from https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.0/AdvancedDev/TranslateSplunk when I extract strings from my app and create a messages.pot file there is an entry for:

<option name="underLabel">Last hour</option>

#: default/data/ui/views/m_app_flow_status.xml:76
msgid "Last hour"
msgstr "最終時間"

But when displaying the dashboard it is not showing the Japanese string. Is this a know issue/bug?

Hi,

if you are still interested in solving this try something like this:

• define a token within dashboard with:

  Last hour

• replace option value with that token:

  $last_hour_tok$

• enhance your dashboard with a Javascript:

• change token value in tokenInternational.js:

  require([
  'jquery',
  'underscore',
  'splunk.i18n',
  'splunkjs/mvc',
  'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
  ], function ($, , i18n, mvc) {
  var defaultTokens = mvc.Components.getInstance("default"); // get token model
  var lastHour = defaultTokens.get("last_hour_tok"); // get the value of last_hour_tok
  lastHour = lastHour.replace("Last hour", i18n.("Last hour")); // replace text "Last hour" with msgstr for msgid "Last hour"
  defaultTokens.set("last_hour_tok", lastHour); // set token value
  });

Hope this helps.

Best regards
