Translation of dynamic / external texts

[tsteckenborn]

I'm currently unsure on how to best translates texts that might be included dynamically (e.g. from configuration or services). Any recommendations on that?

The idea of fbtee is that all translatable text is statically available at build time. If you have dynamic data that you want to render, it has to be present in source code. In the case of configuration, I would recommend using enums or other identifiers in the db/config store and then mapping that to fbt in code. Here is an example of how this works in Athena Crisis: https://github.com/nkzw-tech/athena-crisis/blob/main/hera/lib/getTranslatedBiomeName.tsx

Can you give an example of what you are looking for?

@tsteckenborn:
How will your client app receive the dynamic UI content?
E.g. Serialized HTML to inject on the page? Some structured data (like GraphQL) that provide plain translated strings and pass them to your React app to re-render?
