Apply template items to translated strings

Description

Apply template items to translated strings

Usage

fill_translation_vars(the_data)

Arguments

the_data

a list of global variables (either learner_globals or instructor_globals) that also contains a "translate" element containing a list of translated strings.

Details

There are two kinds of templating we use:

1. variable templating indicated by {key} where key represents a variable that exists within the global data and is replaced.

2. link templating indicated by ⁠<(text to wrap)>⁠ where we replace the ⁠<()>⁠ with a known URL or HTML markup. This allows the translators to translate text without having to worry about HTML markup.

Value

the translated list with templated data filled out

Examples

dat <- list(
  a = "a barn",
  b = "a bee",
  minutes = 5,
  translate = list(
     one = "a normal translated string (pretend it's translated from another language)",
     two = "a question: are you (A) {a}, (B) {b}",
     EstimatedTime = "Estimated time: {icons$clock} {minutes}",
     license = "Licensed under {license} by {authors}",
     ThisLessonCoC = "This lesson operates under our <(Code of Conduct)>"
  )
)
asNamespace("sandpaper")$fill_translation_vars(dat)
