Summary
There is no MDL command to view or edit system texts (Language → System Texts in Studio Pro).
This makes it impossible to localize client-provided UI strings from the CLI.
Environment
- mxcli v0.14.0 (2026-07-06)
- Mendix 11.12.0 (React/modern client)
Use case
Our app shows a delete-confirmation dialog via NanoflowCommons ShowConfirmation
(mx.ui.confirmation). On web, the dialog caption comes from the system text
mxui.widget.ConfirmationDialog.caption (default: "Confirmation"). To localize it
(e.g. to Korean "확인"), the only option today is Studio Pro — it cannot be scripted.
What I checked
SHOW SETTINGS / ALTER SETTINGS LANGUAGE only exposes DefaultLanguageCodeSEARCH 'Confirmation' does not index system texts- No
SYSTEM TEXT related command in HELP
Proposal
Something like:
SHOW SYSTEM TEXTS [LIKE '%confirm%'] [IN 'ko_KR']ALTER SYSTEM TEXT 'mxui.widget.ConfirmationDialog.caption' IN 'ko_KR' = '확인';
This would allow fully scripted localization of Mendix apps.
