README

Magento 2 module that allows a developer to flag rows in translation dictionaries to be added regardless of whether a instance of the string is matched or not.

Install

composer require mecodeninja/module-dynamic-translation

Usage

Append ,dynamic to any translation which should be added to the dictionary (js-translation.json).

Example

en_US.csv

"value1","translated value1",dynamic
"value2","translated value2",dynamic
"value3","value3",dynamic

Results in the following js-translation.json response

{"value1":"translated value1","value2":"translated value2","value3":"value3"}

Scenario

This is helpful if a developer has a value which needs to be translated but the value is part of a dynamic output in a knockout template.

<ul data-bind="foreach: getValues()">
    <li>
        <span data-bind="i18n: $data"></span>
    </li>
</ul>

Willwright/Demo/view/frontend/web/js/demo.js

define(['jquery', 'uiComponent', 'ko'], function ($, Component, ko) {
        'use strict';
        return Component.extend({
            initialize: function () {
                this._super();
            },
            getValues: function(){
                return [
                    'value1',
                    'value2',
                    'value3'
                ];
            }
        });
    }
);

Normally the above values would not be translated. However, with this module and ,dynamic added to the appropriate rows the values will be translated.
