Missing localization; bad handling of broken links

Thank you for reporting these issues, Former Member!

The text "Verwandte Objekte" isn't properly localized. I set the 1Password app to English to get rid of the English/German mixture, so this should become an English text. But this text stays in German.

When the item in 1Password is created, some of the elements, like section titles are instantiated with the current localization. They are copied into the item and become part of it. It means that changing the app localization will have to effect on the item. We made this change back in 1Password 4. Before 1Password 4, the structure of the item was fixed and localizable. When we added custom sections and fields, every item started to define its own structure including the labels.

There could be some magic that if added would localize the labels that weren't modified after the item was created but we didn't get there yet.

This brings me to linked items in general: linking items is a kludge. It's not well integrated. It doesn't work across vaults. It's cumbersome to keep linked items up to date, especially if you recreate items instead of just updating them.

I agree. Item linking is certainly not working well today and can easily be broken. We have a few ideas how to make it work better. At the very least, 1Password should be able to locate items that were moved between vaults.

We also added file attachments in 1Password 8 that could replace item linking in some cases.
