[1.14.4] TranslationTextComponent not translating lore

[sanman00]

I am trying to add lore to my potion items indicating their strength which determines the size of their explosions.This strength value is an integer between 1 and 10.

 

I want this lore to be translatable and so have provided a key for it at the bottom of my en_us.json file:

{
    "item.expotions.potion_explosive" : "Explosive Potion",
    "item.expotions.potion_explosive_throwable" : "Throwable Explosive Potion",
    "item.expotions.potion_explosive_spicy" : "Spicy Explosive Potion",
    "item.expotions.potion_explosive_throwable_spicy" : "Throwable Spicy Explosive Potion",
    "entity.expotions:potion_explosive_throwable" : "Throwable Explosive Potion",
    "death.attack.potion_explosive_throwable" : "%1$s has been killed by an exploding potion",
    "itemGroup.expotions" : "Explosive Potions", 
    "tooltip.expotions.strength" : "Strength: %1$s"
}

The lore is added to an itemstack with the below code (which is called by the addInformation() method):

public static void addTooltip(ItemStack stack, List<ITextComponent> tooltip) {
    tooltip.add(new TranslationTextComponent("tooltip.expotions.strength", getStrength(stack)).applyTextStyle(TextFormatting.GRAY));
}

The problem with this code is that, while the styling is applied, the text is not translated and the key is displayed instead: https://imgur.com/0JhOqye

 

If a StringTextComponent is used instead, the lore is displayed correctly:

public static void addTooltip(ItemStack stack, List<ITextComponent> tooltip) {
        tooltip.add(new StringTextComponent("Strength: " + getStrength(stack)).applyTextStyle(TextFormatting.GRAY));
}

Since the lore should be translatable, the second version of this function is not acceptable as is. But the first version does not work and I am not sure what's gone wrong with it.

My most recent latest.log file is here: https://pastebin.com/bjhHj4ny

Uh, it works fine:

The TranslationTextComponent version? It's still not translating it for me.

 

It seems that the key is not being registered as I18n.hasKey() returns false for it but not for the other keys defined in the same file.

 

Here is a log containing the value of Locale.properties field which appears to hold the translations of the game and mod: https://pastebin.com/63kmzHDx

I have managed to solve the issue. It appears to have been fixed by replacing default values in places like build.gradle and mods.toml (e.g. "examplemod") with the proper values, such as the mod ID.
