How to escape "{strings...}"?

[FlatMapIO]

My code looks like this: placeholder: '{"token_id": 0.5}', the generator emits the type RequiredParams<'"token_id"'>, I have searched the documentation and can't find the escaping instructions

Hi @FlatMapIO, there is currently no way to escape characters. '{"token_id": 0.5} does not look like a translation for me. What are you trying to achive?

In over two years noone really needed it. Until there is no real need for it, I would not add this.

I want to display a bold string in my translation. Currently, it's easy to add a parameter like name (see ConfirmDelete below):

import type { BaseTranslation } from '../i18n-types';

const en: BaseTranslation = {
	Add: 'Add',
	Cancel: 'Cancel',
	ConfirmDelete: 'Are you sure you want to delete {name}?' // this line
};

export default en;

However, if I just add the bold tag, I get it outputted as text ConfirmDelete: 'Are you sure you want to delete <b>{name}</b>?'

Is there any way I can escape some basic html in the translations? Maybe with a formatter?

[sereneowl]

FYI, I solved the probem by using the bold parameters outside the translation, where the translation is called.
To be honest, it's not really part of the translation so I will understand if you won't implement this :)

In the end it is just text. And your framework probably sanitizes it so it does not alter the HTML as it could be a security concern. See dangerouslySetInnerHTML for react and @html for Svelte.

Thanks for replying. I'm using Svelte and I'll stick to my current variant, rather than use @html. That seems to open the door to a lot of unwanted stuff.

Hello,

Since then, is there any way to escape the special character?

Exemple :

"helloWorld": "Hello \{ World \}"

Not escaped

[sereneowl]

This library is no longer maintained, so nothing changed since then.

See issue #739
