SVG Position text relative to parent <g> - svg

Question

I need to place text relative to the parent <g>.
Currently, I have a path and a text element wrapped in a <g>. But all the text coordinates are relative to the outer most <g>.
<svg width="1000" height="550">
<g transform="translate(500,275)" stroke-width="2" stroke="black">
<g>
<path d="M1.6838893488276108e-14,-275A275,275 0 0,1 238.15698604072065,137.49999999999994L0,0Z" id="path_0" style="fill: rgb(17, 17, 17);"></path>
<text transform="translate(100, 100)" class="tooltipText" stroke-width="0" fill="white" style="text-anchor: middle;">text</text>
</g>

Answer 1

It's hard to see which part of this you're having trouble with, but I'll explain as best I can.
Your SVG picture is 1000 pixels wide and 550 pixels tall:
<svg width="1000" height="550">
The top level node inside this SVG is a <g> node that moves the origin of the coordinate system from the top left corner to (500,275) (i.e., the middle of the drawing area; Y coordinates increase from top to bottom in SVGs)
<g transform="translate(500,275)" ... >
All the children of this top-level node will therefore use this transformed coordinate system. You have added additional <g> nodes as children of this top-level node, but they don't really do anything in this instance because they contain no attributes:
<g>
As a result, the <path> nodes will still be using the same transformed coordinate system that was set up by the top-level <g>. These all produce circular sectors with an apex at (0,0). And since (0,0) corresponds to the middle of the drawing area in this transformed coordinate system, that is where they end up:
<path d="M0-275A275 275 0 0 1 238 137.5L0 0Z" style="fill: rgb(17, 17, 17);"></path>
<path d="M238 137.5A275 275 0 0 1-238 137.5L0 0Z" style="fill: rgb(34, 34, 34);"></path>
<path d="M-238 137.5A275 275 0 0 1 0-275L0 0Z" style="fill: rgb(51, 51, 51);"></path>
Your <text> nodes are also drawn in this coordinate system, but offset by (100,100) because you added a transform attribute to shift them 100 pixels down and 100 pixels to the right:
<text transform="translate(100, 100)" ... >text</text>
So the end result is that all three of your text nodes are drawn at coordinates of (600,375) relative to the top left corner of the drawing area. If you want the text to appear somewhere else, you'll have specify a different offset. For example:
<text transform="translate(120,-80)" ... >text</text>
<text transform="translate(0,160)" ... >text</text>
<text transform="translate(-120,-80)" ... >text</text>
<svg width="1000" height="550">
<g transform="translate(500,275)" stroke-width="2" stroke="black">
<g>
<path d="M0-275A275 275 0 0 1 238 137.5L0 0Z" style="fill: rgb(17, 17, 17);"></path>
<text transform="translate(120,-80)" class="tooltipText" stroke-width="0" fill="white" style="text-anchor: middle;">text</text>

<text transform="translate(0,160)" class="tooltipText" stroke-width="0" fill="white" style="text-anchor: middle;">text</text>
