Translation tooling/approach about strimzi-ui

[dlabaj]

Most of the projects I have worked on have used https://www.i18next.com/. There's also are react implementation that is optional https://react.i18next.com/. Worth a look.

Current concerns over i18next are around the HTML formatted strings:

<Trans i18nKey="userMessagesUnread" count={count}>
      Hello <strong title={t('nameTitle')}>{{name}}</strong>, you have {{count}} unread message. <Link to="/msgs">Go to messages</Link>.
    </Trans>

"userMessagesUnread": "Hello <1>{{name}}</1>, you have {{count}} unread message. <5>Go to message</5>.",
"userMessagesUnread_plural": "Hello <1>{{name}}</1>, you have {{count}} unread messages.  <5>Go to messages</5>.",

In particular - <5> is based off knowing how React renders the contents of the <Trans> - it's the 5th element in the render tree.

Continuing to evaluate the rest of it vs other libraries

And just FYI @dlabaj , we came up with https://github.com/ibm-messaging/kafka-java-vertx-starter/tree/master/ui/src/ReactCustomHooks/useTranslate to address @nictownsend 's point for a previous UI. Its there if we think it might help/be of use, but I am sure there are much more mature 3rd party tools available.
