Module positions not always translated

[brianteeman]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to the module manager and open the search filters
You will see that the list of positions include Position-7 and Position-8

Open a module and go to the list of available positions and you will see it is listed WITH its language string as well - which is much better and I am sure is the intended behaviour (why else have the strings in the template language file?

Scroll a bit further down that list and if you have a module published in Position-7 you will see it in the list of Active Positions but again without the translation

The same is true in lots of places - I just highlighted some obvious ones

Expected result

Actual result

System information (as much as possible)

It can be a bit tricky because the positions are defined and (optionally) translated by the templates. Now each template may have a different name for the same position-7 position, they may even be in different positions (eg one left, the other right). Which translation would you choose?
That's why it isn't translated for "active positions" and the filters. Because they can come from any template. However in the module form, you have the positions grouped by template and thus they can be translated.

Just seemed odd to me that we have the option to translate the positions
but we rarely use the translation (or we use it inconsistently)

i actually made a poc for this (see andrepereiradasilva#99), but is as @Bakual says, will not be totally correct (altough i first find the position in the home template style which probably would cover more than 95% of cases).
