Sheet Authors: Dynamic Tab Labels Using Translation

Tired of seeing "Spellcasting Class 1" or the like on tabs on your character sheets? The Roll20 translation feature can help. Sheet HTML excerpts: <input type="radio" name="attr_spellclass-tab" value="1" title="Spellcasting Class 1" checked="checked"/> <span data-i18n="spellclass01-u" >Spellcasting Class 1</span> <input type="radio" name="attr_spellclass-tab" value="2" title="Spellcasting Class 2" /> <span data-i18n="spellclass02-u" >Spellcasting Class 2</span> <td style="width: 50px;">Classname</td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 197px;" name="attr_spellclass01" title="spellclass01" value="Spellcasting Class 1"></td> Translation file: { "spellclass01-u": "<span name=\"attr_spellclass01\"></span>", "spellclass02-u": "<span name=\"attr_spellclass02\"></span>" } Here it is in action (click image to animate):

Uhh... I wouldn't recommend doing it this way. Just use <span name="attr_spellclass01">Spellcasting Class 1</span> instead of the data-i18n. You're creating an unnecessary step, and the translators don't necessarily know HTML and may screw up your clever plan when translating the sheet to another language.

D'oh! Thanks, Brian. I knew it was kludgy, but I had tried all kinds of ways to fix this before, though I was always using the @spellclass01 reference to the attribute name, so it never worked. I did not realize spans would work this way and thought it was unique to the translation feature. This is much simpler!
