Transition not working on hover

I don't know but for some reasons, transition doesn't seem to be working. I am testing this Google Chrome.

[data-title] {
	position: relative;
  margin: 100px;
}

[data-title]:hover:before {
  transform: translate(-50%, 0);
	width: 18px;
	height: 6px;
	left: 50%;
	margin-top: 0px;
	top: 100%;
	opacity: 1;
	pointer-events: auto;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.25s;
  transition: all 0.25s;
	content: '';
	position: absolute;
	z-index: 10;
	box-sizing: border-box;
	border-left: 8px solid transparent;
	border-right: 8px solid transparent;
	border-bottom: 10px solid #00204e;
  
}

[data-title]:hover:after {
	transform: translate(-50%, 0);
	left: calc(50%);
	margin-top: 10px;
	top: 100%;
	opacity: 1;
	pointer-events: auto;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.25s;
  transition: all 0.25s;
	font-weight: normal;
	text-shadow: none;
	background: #00204e;
	border-radius: 4px;
	color: #fff;
	content: attr(data-title);
	padding: 10px;
	position: absolute;
	white-space: normal;
	width: max-content;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';
	line-height: normal;
	max-width: 150px;
	text-align: left;
	height: auto;
	display: inline-block;
}
<span class="dijitButtonContents" id="saveButton" data-title="Save as draft"><span id="saveButton_label">Save</span></span>

Can anyone help where I am going wrong or am I missing something?

I have even tried to make transition timing to +1 seconds but still it doesn't reflects the same.

You have not set anything for the original state so the transition doesn't know what to go from. If you are only wanting to transition the item's appearance - eg fade in or out, then you need to do something like transition the opacity:

[data-title] {
  position: relative;
  margin: 100px;
}

[data-title]:before {
  width: 18px;
  height: 6px;
  left: 50%;
  margin-top: 0px;
  top: 100%;
  opacity: 1;
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 10;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border-left: 8px solid transparent;
  border-right: 8px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 10px solid #00204e;
  transform: translate(-50%, 0);
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s;
  pointer-events: none;
}

[data-title]:after {
  transform: translate(-50%, 0);
  left: calc(50%);
  margin-top: 10px;
  top: 100%;
  opacity: 1;
  font-weight: normal;
  text-shadow: none;
  background: #00204e;
  border-radius: 4px;
  color: #fff;
  content: attr(data-title);
  padding: 10px;
  position: absolute;
  white-space: normal;
  width: max-content;
  font-size: 12px;
  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';
  line-height: normal;
  max-width: 150px;
  text-align: left;
  height: auto;
  display: inline-block;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s;
  pointer-events: none;
}

[data-title]:hover:before,
[data-title]:hover:after {
  opacity: 1;
  pointer-events: auto;
}
<span class="dijitButtonContents" id="saveButton" data-title="Save as draft"><span id="saveButton_label">Save</span></span>

If you want something to transition from one state to another, you have to define both states. This means having a base-style and a :hover-style.

For example:

.test {
  width: 100px;
  height: 50px;
  background: red;
  transition: all 2s;
}

.test:hover {
  height: 100px;
}
<div class="test">test</div>

This works, because there is an initial state for the height attribute. This however: 

.test {
  width: 100px;
  background: red;
  transition: all 2s;
}

.test:hover {
  height: 300px;
}
<div class="test">test</div>

This will not work, because the browser doesn't have a specified height as an initial state.
