{% trans %} in inline javascript code

[Rémy Hubscher]

We've got this issue on django-filebrowser but I think it is related to a django template translation problem.

How to escape {% trans %} for js ? Maybe we need a {% transjs %} tag ?

If you need specific manipulation of translation results, you can use the new {% trans "my string" as my_variable %} feature as described at ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#trans-template-tag

After the translation is available in the context, you can escape it.

Another way to solve this:

messages: {
    typeError: '{{ _("{file} has invalid extension. Only {extensions} are allowed.")|escapejs }}'
}
