I don't understand why ... but that's the case. Makes things disconnected. I can't sets my own key, but I can derive it from the scriptid ,,, but converted to UPPERCASE.

Hello Darren, can you provide a couple of code snippets that illustrate the problem?

In my 'collection' xml, I'll have this string

<string scriptid="greeting">
	<defaulttranslation>Hello</defaulttranslation>
</string>

But, in script, I reference that string like ...

var handle = translation.load({
	collections: [
		{ collection: 'custcollection_test', alias: 'labels', keys: ['GREETING'] }
	]
});

log.audit('', handle.labels.GREETING());

I would have thought I could use

handle.labels.greeting()

. Perhaps I'm missing something?
