Magento2: advanced bundling js translation not (always) working

[davidverholen]

When using advanced bundling, some core strings are not translatable.

Preconditions (*)

1. Use any supported Magento Version (e.g. latest)
2. Configure and use advanced bundling (eventually also reproducable with current default bundling implementation)
3. use a language pack or translate "Cancel" to anything else in your locale

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. add product to cart
2. hit the delete button in minicart

Expected result (*)

1. The Cancel Button is translated

Actual result (*)

1. The Cancel Button is not translated
   (same probably for OK, but OK does not have to be translated for many locales)

This error can potentially appear in many more cases, where strings are translated in js before the translations are fully initialized.

I'm not a frontend dev but it seems that the translations are initialized in the body here while some js components already try to use the translate function during initialization.
When bundled, this happens before the actual translations are loaded

See translation initialization:

and confirm modal initialization:

@DrewML fyi. I do not really have an idea what happens in the translate.phtml and why it is implemented like that (instead of adding the translations during init of the translate component) so I do not really have an Idea how to fix this.

[DrewML]
