I have a render that I am using to output some content on the page. I want this content to be taken from translation strings, so something like this:
{% render 'theme/simple/ui/content', content: app.content | t %}
This statement won't work obviously. I am wondering if there is any clean solution to this problem? I can obviously assign the translation to another variable but it seems like a unnecessary additional step.
You can pass to the partial content_key and then in it apply translation. Moreover your partial can take either content or content_key
# theme/simple/ui/content.liquid
{% liquid
if content_key
assign content = content_key | t
endif
%}
{{ content }}
# some_file.liquid
{% render 'theme/simple/ui/content', content_key: 'app.content' %}
Alternative way I found out might work is to check if the passed string starts with an translation key (so app. in my example) and if so - use filter to get the translation. This is a little easier to use as one doesn't have to think about which argument to use, but I am not sure if it's a bullet-proof solution.
{% liquid
assign is_translation = content | slice: 0, 4
if is_translation == 'app.'
assign content = content | t
else
assign content = content
endif
%}
