Any news on this topic? Would need to use that feature too.

 

In the past some changes in CSOM for SP2013 have been made through CUs as well without big announcements, maybe something changed in the last few months?

 

Imho it's a pitty, that such "simple changes" have not been merged back into SP2013 although they have been already implemented for SP2016 and SPO.

 

My only idea is to have a farm solution (service) running, which will be called after Lists and Views have been provisioned with PnP in order to set translations on the items...

    Hi Pascal,

     

    I while back I got an answer from Vesa Juvonen in the PnP Yammer Network (which is now closed), where he stated that there are no plans to introduce this capability in a future CU for SP2013. So I think thats the reality we have to live with, and to be honest, your solution doesnt sound to bad, even though it can get tricky to combine that with provisioning sites with for example the PnP Provisioning Engine etc.
