Describe the bug
var editor = grapesjs.init({
fromElement: true,
container: '#gjs',
//style: '.txt-red{color: red}',
i18n: {
//de: gjsDE,
locale: 'de', // default locale
// detectLocale: true, // by default, the editor will detect the language
//localeFallback: 'de', // default fallback
//messages: { gjsDE },
},
plugins: ['grapesjs-mjml', 'gjs-plugin-ckeditor', 'inlineStorage'],
pluginsOpts: {
'grapesjs-mjml': {i18n: {de: mjmlCS}},
'gjs-plugin-ckeditor': {},
},
storageManager: { type: 'inline' }
});
editor.I18n.addMessages({
de: gjsDE
});
Some texts are translated and some not. Some are translated only after I click some tool button, then its translated. For example Top bar button Sesttins. Its in EN, After I click this button then its translated to my own language. Why?

Thanks for reporting this, @applibs.
The issue with Localization works weird appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system — listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
