    Alias for section is showing as link text in top menu instead of name?

    Hi!

    I have created a new section and it shows up just fine but the name is not showing correctly?

    This is my section:

    "sections": [{
"alias": "mySection",
"name": "Custom Section"}]

    But it shows up in the top menu as "[mySection]"? Why doesn't "Custom Section" show up as text of the link? I have tried both by using package.manifest and by code.

    I'm running Umbraco 8.0.

    Thanks!

    Hi Kristoffer

    This is to cater for the scenario of you releasing a package to the outside world with your custom section functionality, and people in different countries wanting to translate your Section name into an appropriate language.

    So the Alias is used to 'look up' the text or translated text based on the current editors culture settings.

    There is an explanation here;

    https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Extending/Section-Trees/sections#adding-a-language-translation-get-rid-of-the-square-brackets

    (but you'd think it would 'fallback' to the name if one wasn't present!)

    regards

    Marc
