Should translatable attributes go into the DOM automatically?

[joefiorini]

If I have something like:

// I18n Setup
Em.I18n.Translations = { blah: "diddy" };

// In a template
{{view MyView nameTranslation="blah"}}

I'm going to end up with markup like:

<div class="ember-view" name="diddy">some content...</div>

But what if I want to use the translated attribute to populate the div's content? I don't want that getting serialized into my HTML, but from what I could see in the code, it will since it ends in Translation.

Is there a way around this currently?

Couldn't you use the {{t}} helper within your content?

{{#view MyView}}
  {{t blah}}
{{/view}}

From what I've seen you cannot concatenate strings to pass into Handlebars, but I need to dynamically generate the key based on an attribute of my view. Therefore, I need to pass it using nameBinding and let the valueTranslation live in my view. But then I get a value attribute in the DOM, which I absolutely do not want.

If you need dynamic keys, you'll have to do that in the view. I'm not 100% clear about what you're trying to accomplish, but hopefully this example is relevant:

I18n:

Em.I18n.Translations = {
  translation.token.alpha: "ay",
  translation.token.beta: "bee",
  translation.token.gamma: "gee",
};

View:

var MyView = Ember.extend({
  foobarBinding: 'controller.someValue',

  myTranslatedString: function() {
    return I18n.t('translation.token.%@'.fmt(this.get('foobar')));
  }.property('foobar')
});

Template:

{{#view MyView}}
  {{view.myTranslatedString}}
{{/view}}

If you want the translated text to show up as the <div>'s content, you want the t helper:

{{#view MyView nameTranslation="blah"}}{{t "foozle"}}{{/view}}

@joefiorini Can you share how you've solved the dynamic keys thing pls? I have the same issue.

[joefiorini]

I'm actually not using the plugin anymore. The project I was using it on got canned. If we revisit it and I figure it out I'll be sure to post something here.
