Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Report status badge translation is not changing until page refresh

What is the root cause of that problem?

We’re memoizing reportStatus and reportStatusColorStyle here:

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestReportPreview/MoneyRequestReportPreviewContent.tsx

Lines 343 to 351 in 515655a

	const reportStatus = useMemo(
	() => getReportStatusTranslation(iouReport?.stateNum ?? action?.childStateNum, iouReport?.statusNum ?? action?.childStatusNum),
	[action?.childStateNum, action?.childStatusNum, iouReport?.stateNum, iouReport?.statusNum],
	);
	const reportStatusColorStyle = useMemo(
	() => getReportStatusColorStyle(theme, iouReport?.stateNum ?? action?.childStateNum, iouReport?.statusNum ?? action?.childStatusNum),
	[action?.childStateNum, action?.childStatusNum, iouReport?.stateNum, iouReport?.statusNum, theme],
	);

But translate is not added to dependencies list

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• Pass translate to getReportStatusTranslation as parameter
• Replace translateLocal with translate
  

  App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

  Lines 12251 to 12263 in 515655a

  	return translateLocal('common.draft');
  	}
  	if (stateNum === CONST.REPORT.STATE_NUM.SUBMITTED && statusNum === CONST.REPORT.STATUS_NUM.SUBMITTED) {
  	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated
  	return translateLocal('common.outstanding');
  	}
  	if (stateNum === CONST.REPORT.STATE_NUM.APPROVED && statusNum === CONST.REPORT.STATUS_NUM.CLOSED) {
  	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated
  	return translateLocal('common.done');
  	}
  	if (stateNum === CONST.REPORT.STATE_NUM.APPROVED && statusNum === CONST.REPORT.STATUS_NUM.APPROVED) {
  	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated
  	return translateLocal('iou.approved');

Report status badge translation is not changing until page refresh

What is the root cause of that problem?

We get the badge text from getReportStatusTranslation and color from getReportStatusColorStyle and use useMemo to memorize it, but as soon we change the local the reportStatus does not update leading with local leading to this bug

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestReportPreview/MoneyRequestReportPreviewContent.tsx

Lines 343 to 346 in 515655a

	const reportStatus = useMemo(
	() => getReportStatusTranslation(iouReport?.stateNum ?? action?.childStateNum, iouReport?.statusNum ?? action?.childStatusNum),
	[action?.childStateNum, action?.childStatusNum, iouReport?.stateNum, iouReport?.statusNum],
	);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should add the translate dep in deps array of reportStatus only and it's not required for reportStatusColorStyle since it will remain same.

const reportStatus = useMemo(
    () => getReportStatusTranslation(iouReport?.stateNum ?? action?.childStateNum, iouReport?.statusNum ?? action?.childStatusNum),
    [action?.childStateNum, action?.childStatusNum, iouReport?.stateNum, iouReport?.statusNum, translate],
);

Like we have through out in our App

App/src/components/DatePicker/CalendarPicker/YearPickerModal.tsx

Line 40 in 515655a

}, [years, searchText, translate]);

App/src/components/QRShare/QRShareWithDownload/index.native.tsx

Line 22 in 515655a

[props.title, translate],

App/src/components/SubStepForms/DateOfBirthStep.tsx

Line 75 in 515655a

[dobInputID, stepFields, translate],
