array/object translations aren't being interpolated. is this inteded?

[dreyks]

current version of i18n-js does the interpolations in any case

[fnando]

@dreyks can you give us more details? What does your translation file look like and how are you calling i18n?

[fnando]

I think the reason is that you're expecting arrays to be interpolated, which is not a feature supported by i18n-js. Instead, try something like:

> i18n.store({en: {someKey: "hello, %{name}", otherKey: "another one"}});
undefined
> i18n.t("someKey", {name: "John"})
'hello, John'
> i18n.t("otherKey")
'another one'
>

If you need an array out the translations, I recommend doing something like keys.map(key => i18n.t(key, options)).

[dreyks]

yeah i just wanted to figure out if it's not supported yet or is it out of scope for this library as compared to the old i18n-js

[fnando]

This is tricky, because it breaks things that expect raw arrays. 🤔

[fnando]

As a quick thought, maybe we can introduce an option like interpolateLists, which would do that for you.

[dreyks]

by raw you mean uninterpolated?
