translation

Lookup a specific translation in a translated text. If the text is not translated then the text is returned as-is.

The filter takes as input a value or other variable and as argument the language to be shown.

Example usage:

{{ text|translation:"en" }}

If the variable text has the value:

{trans, [{en, <<"Hello">>}, {nl,<<"Hallo">>}]}

Then this will show Hello, even if the current template language is set to nl.

This filter is especially useful for filling in forms with language specific strings to be edited.
