Disable i18n translation in dialogs

After more debugging, it looks like the translation happens in the setOptions function of Selection.js, line 419:

for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) { var o = options[i]; storeConfig.data.push([o.value, o.text, CQ.I18n.getVarMessage(o[CQ.shared.XSS.getXSSPropertyName("text")]), o.qtip]); }

I am using CQ 5.6. 

Let us know the results of your testing. 

Hmm, I think I'll test this on a fresh project. It might be some custom implementation on our project that I am not aware of. I noticed that in the widgets documentation

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/widgets-api/index.html?class=CQ.shared.HTTP it is mentioned that the values will be passed to CQ.Util.formatData (which uses translation) in case optionsRoot does not exist. However, I do have an optionsRoot property. I did some debugging on the widgets.js file and it doesn't call that function, just as it is documented.

I'll do some testing and let you know. Thanks for the quick replies.

I have never seen this before - this is not a configurable setting that can be set. Can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing. 

Thanks for the answer. However, I don't think it's related to the server side code. As I said, the returned results are correct. The problem is somewhere on the front end side.

See the community article and the dialog in it - notice the values returned by the servlet - you will never get translated values using that code. 

This is the dialog:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" jcr:primaryType="cq:Dialog"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" xtype="tabpanel"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <app-properties jcr:primaryType="cq:Panel" title="App Properties"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <type jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="App Version" name="./version" type="select" defaultValue="" xtype="selection" optionsRoot="." optionsTextField="value" optionsValueField="key" options="$PATH.versions.json"/> </items> </app-properties> </items> </items> </jcr:root> 

The results retrieved by $PATH.versions.json are correct. However something happens when they are present in the dialog...

The servlet result is:

[{"key":"","value":"(Empty)"},{"key":"v_1","value":"v_1"}]

However, because there is a label for v_1 with the value test for English, then instead of showing a dropdown with options: (Empty) and v_1, a dropdown with options (Empty) and test will be displayed.

It would be helpful if you tell which code you are using to populate drop down..
