Re: [errai-dev] Another i18n consideration...

I was working on the s-ramp browser UI some more today, and encountered a case where I need non-template translations. I have a client-side only notification service (basically an @ApplicationScoped service that can be used to growl at the user). When various application events occur, I will use the notification service to pop up a growl. The title and message is different based on the context. It's basically stuff like "Hey, I just did this for you." or "Oh no, something you did caused an error." or "Please wait while I do this thing for you...". In these cases the growl widget is templated, but the title and body will be replaced with data passed in. That data originates on the client-side but *not* from a template. Some thoughts on possible ways to address this issue: 1) @Inject the TranslationService and simply call "translate" directly. a) ok great, but what key do I use, and how does that key get included in the bundle(s)? b) Create a new annotation to somehow indicate additional keys that should be translated, along with default values? Something like this perhaps: @ApplicationScoped class MyService { @Inject @Translations({ @Translation(key="growl-title", defaultValue="Hey Dude!"), @Translation(key="growl-message", defaultValue="This thing you care about just happened..."), }) private TranslationService translationService; public void someMethod() { String translatedValue = translationService.getTranslation("growl-title"); // Do something with it } } Verbose but effective. The bundle would then be generated to include MyService.growl-title and MyService.growl-message. Thoughts? Is there another way to solve this use case? -Eric _______________________________________________ errai-dev mailing list errai-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/errai-dev
