Translation is not applied to blocks in blocklist

[engern]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

15.1.1

Bug summary

When adding a block to the block list, the translation is correctly applied in the right menu ("Rik tekst"). However, after adding the block, the block's title is not translated when displayed in the block list on the page.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a block with a translated name.
2. Create a document type that includes a block list, allowing the block from step 1 to be added.
3. Create content using the document type from step 2 and add the block from step 1.
4. Observe that the translation is applied correctly in the right menu but not in the block list when rendered on the page.

Expected result / actual result

I would expect that the title of the block in the block list would display the same as when I select it from the right menu

Hi there @engern!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Same problem with property descriptions for the block. It seems that property names are translated, but not the description field

Hi @engern, yesterday I was doing some research on the translations and I found this PR on the Umbraco Docs:
umbraco/UmbracoDocs#6803

It seems that this functionality is no longer available with Umbraco 15.

[engern]

I do not use the dictionary in the backoffice if that is what you mean. The translated texts are in a separate backoffice project and they apply on the other fields and also on descriptions for the document type properties

Ah, apologies I assumed you were indeed trying to use the dictionary in the backoffice. In that case, I can't help you with this issue unfortunately.

Fixed in 15.3.0 via #18201.

@engern Thank you for reporting this.

For the property descriptions, if you wrap the localization keys in curly braces, the labels will then be localized. This is due to the introduction of Umbraco-flavoured Markdown (UFM) for rendering property descriptions.

Currently the documentation for Document Type Localization is outdated, I have a task to get that updated very soon: umbraco/UmbracoDocs#6811
