How to use a compiler to preprocess translation values
This content is for v15. Switch to the latest version for up-to-date documentation.
By default, translation values are added “as-is”. You can configure a compiler
that
implements TranslateCompiler
to pre-process translation values when they are
added (either manually or by a loader). A compiler has the following methods:
compile(value: string, lang: string): string | Function
: Compiles a string to a function or another string.compileTranslations(translations: any, lang: string): any
: Compiles a (possibly nested) object of translation values to a structurally identical object of compiled translation values.
Using a compiler opens the door for powerful pre-processing of translation values. As long as the compiler outputs a compatible interpolation string or an interpolation function, arbitrary input syntax can be supported.
