Application Variables still in English (Native PDF Publishing) - AEM Guides v4.4

The pre-existing application language variables aren't working in any Native PDF Publishing outputs for any selected language (other than English). Specifically, I'm looking at all the note- fields (warning, caution, important, note, etc).

 

I have verified in the Output > Language Variables screen that the fields are translated.

 

I select a language in the Output > Presets > General screen, and all the note signal words (Warning, Caution, Important, Note, etc) are still in English.

 

In the Expert Session "Translate content in Guides - part 2", it is stated that these application language variables "just work" out of the box. Is there another setting somewhere that I missed? Why are these default language variables still in English?

 

I also created a custom variable, translated it into all the activated languages, inserted it into my output template page setup, and it worked perfectly the first try.

Hi Susan,

 

Can you share the screenshot of the content where you are looking for this translation? I believe it needs to be set in the CSS file.

Once you share the screenshot, we shall provide exact details.

 

Thanks,

Vivek

I just figured out that the problem is within the CSS file. How do I refer/insert a language variable in the CSS file? Specifically, I'm looking to insert the "lngvar=note-XXXX" variables.

I can see in the page templates, the reference is "data-lngvar="VAR-NAME-HERE", so what is it in the CSS file?
