Any way to implement internationalization in UIX side?

Question

To implement internationalization in UIX side we used VaultExtensionMethod to retrieve corresponding UI text, but for some options like dashboard title (dashboard as pop-up window modal) and the context menu, when right click on an object, we couldn't be able to apply internationalization. For example, we have tried setting the m-files language to Italian, and we get the button text (within html body tag) as localized value but cannot change the title (within html head -> title tag) - Custom Menu Title to localized one. Also for the context menus below we cannot localize the Custom Menu option- 
 Any way to achieve localized text from UIX for the above scenarios?

 How are you setting the dashboard title? Via "IWindow.Title"? 
 Edit: Ahh, you did say it was coming from the HTML title tag. Have you tried Window.Title?

 Yes, you cannot read the registry from the web. For the web I think you would detect the browser language using "navigator.languages" or similar instead of using the registry (as the registry doesn't drive the language of the browser).

There is a relatively convoluted example here that does this: Samples.UIHelpers/src/Common/src/ConfigurationManager.js at master &middot; M-Files/Samples.UIHelpers (github.com) 
 When the ShellUI starts up it reads the current language from the registry and passes it to a vault extension method. The vault extension method loads the appropriate strings and populates an object inside the UIX with them. Once this object is populated the various UI components (e.g. the context menu command) are created using the appropriate localised strings.
