Dynamic message key for i18n

[matth_as]

Hello,

I'm working with AEM6 and Sightly and have an issue with our message keys.

Until now we had some text output like

<fmt:message key="message.key.${variable}" />

Now I would like to use this format: ${'message.key' @ i18n}

I thought, I found the solution by using 

${'message.key.part.{0}.another.part.{1}' @ i18n, format=[variable1, variable2]}

but the format-option only injects the values of variable1 and variable2 into the translation of the provided message key at the corresponding placeholders.

Other combinations like ${'message.key.'variable @ i18n} or ${'message.key.${variable}' @ i18n} failed.

I hope someone can provide a solution :-)

Best regards

Matthias

You can first concat it into one string and assign it to sightly variable using data-sly-test. See the snippet below

<div data-sly-test.prefix="next">
<div data-sly-test.suffix="text">
<div data-sly-test.i18key="${prefix}.${suffix}">
Value - ${i18key @ i18n}

You can also use @format to form a single string and assign it to sightly variable using data-sly-test.<variablename>

<div data-sly-test.key="${ '{0}.{1}' @ format=['next','text']}">
Value - ${key @ i18n}

I guess above should help.

Hello Runal,

thx for your reply.

I used the format-version and it works!

Very nice idea.

Kind regards
