Marko brought this to my attention yesterday. For some things, we
dynamically create UI. In this case, the java code contains the English
text and it needs to be localized. Luckily, the solution was pretty
straightforward. We just replace the English text with a key into the
message bundle. The html template that displays this text already pulls
from an Angular scope so we just leave that alone and pass it through
the |translate filter. You do need to also add the double-colon.
One nice side effect is that if the key is not found in the bundle then
the output of the translate filter is the unchanged text. This means
that any code which has not converted to using bundle keys will still
work as expected. And, any third-party providers can just pass in
plain text if they don't care about l10n. If they ever do care about
l10n we will just need to provide a means for them to add key/value
pairs to the resource bundles.
Here is an example for anyone who needs to localize English text
embedded in java:
