Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Workspace – System message for changed workspace name is not translated to Spanish

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are not displaying the action POLICYCHANGELOG_UPDATE_NAME translating the message but instead display the action with ReportActionItemMessage which only displays the message fragments without translation

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We need to include a translation first for policy changed text that takes new and old policy name as params then we will display the action here by creating an else if for POLICYCHANGELOG_UPDATE_NAME type action and pass the translated text as the message of ReportActionItemBasicMessage https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/b0f810df06c3df866b7fdbed4959f8f1fef803ed/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionItem.tsx#L655-L656

We can of course create a util that returns the translated text. And also we can apply the same for other type of actions too that do not support translation yet.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

System message for changed workspace name is not translated to Spanish

What is the root cause of that problem?

For update log messages in admin room, we don't translate to Spanish

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/df69c80229acdc510064d2671e2fdde8095a93a7/src/libs/ReportActionsUtils.ts#L1298-L1315

We’ve added a function to translate system messages, but we haven't included the POLICYCHANGELOG_UPDATE_NAME action. We need to incorporate logic to handle the translation for the POLICYCHANGELOG_UPDATE_NAME action.

if (isActionOfType(action, CONST.REPORT.ACTIONS.TYPE.POLICY_CHANGE_LOG.UPDATE_NAME)) {
        const oldName = getOriginalMessage(action)?.oldName ?? '';
        const newName = getOriginalMessage(action)?.newName ?? '';
        const message = `${Localize.translateLocal('workspace.renamedPolicyAction.renamedPolicyAction', {oldName, newName})}`;   // NEED TO CREATE A NEW TRANSLATION KEY renamedPolicyAction
        return [{text: message, html: `<muted-text>${message}</muted-text>`, type: 'COMMENT'}];
    }

For example, en.ts (need to confirm Spanish translation in es.ts)

renamedPolicyAction: {
    renamedPolicyAction: ({oldName, newName}: RenamedRoomActionParams) => ` updated the name of this workspace from ${oldName} to ${newName}`,
},

I've observed that other update log messages, such as POLICYCHANGELOG_UPDATE_FIELD, also aren't translated into Spanish. We should apply the same approach to address these cases as well.

@FitseTLT @cretadn22 Thank you for your proposals.

The RCA from both solutions is correct, and both solutions include updating the new translation. In spite of the proposal from @cretadn22 being more detailed but since the policy name does not support markdown so there is no need to update the render as a fragment with TextCommentFragment.

The solution from @FitseTLT was provided first, and rendering the content as ReportActionItemBasicMessage also makes sense in this case.

So @FitseTLT proposal is LGTM, and we should also update alternateText for the sidebar.
