I am using react, i18next and react-i18next. I would like to have some translatable text with HTML link in the middle of the text which is interpolated in react, something like this:
This is my text with <a href="{{link}}">a beautiful link</a> in the middle of the text
The solution below works, but the problem is that I need to interpolate the link in react so it can't be hard-coded in label files:
"my-label": "This is my text with <a href=\"http://google.com\">a beautiful link</a> in the middle of the text"
[...]
<Interpolate i18nKey="my-label" useDangerouslySetInnerHTML />
It seems like this is much better:
"my-label": "This is my text with {{link}} in the middle of the text",
"link" "a beautiful link"
[...]
const { url } = props;
const link = <a href={url}>{t('link')}</a>
<Interpolate i18nKey="my-label" link={link} />
Could be the solution, however the app is translated into many languages and a quality of translations really matters so I prefer to have the whole text in one line for translators (this is important especially for languages which have cases).
Is there any way how to get working something like this (or is there any way how to solve it completely differently)?
"my-label": "This is my text with <a href=\"{{link}}\">a beautiful link</a> in the middle of the text"
[...]
const { url } = props;
<Interpolate i18nKey="my-label" useDangerouslySetInnerHTML link={url} />
With react-i18next v4.4.0 we introduced a new component Trans:
<Trans i18nKey="optionalKey">See the <Link to="/more">description</Link> below.</Trans>
The json would be: See the <1>description</1> below.
or even more complex:
<Trans i18nKey="userMessagesUnread" count={count}>
Hello <strong title={t('nameTitle')}>{{name}}</strong>, you have {{count}} unread message. <Link to="/msgs">Go to messages</Link>.
</Trans>
The new feature is documented here: https://react.i18next.com/latest/trans-component
