In my web application built with Angular, we encountered a need for a data type to store translations of strings in different languages. To address this requirement, a team member defined the following type:
export class TranslatedString {
[language: string]: string;
}
This construct is referred to as an Index Signature, although I have not personally utilized it before and thus find myself somewhat unsure of its workings. Upon examining an instance of this type during runtime, it displays as follows:
{de: "TestDE", en: "TestEN", fr: "TestFR"}
de:"TestDE"
en:"TestEN"
fr:"TestFR"
__proto__:{}
I am currently tasked with removing a translation from this particular type instance, but I'm struggling to find a method to achieve this. There doesn't appear to be a remove or delete function that can be called to eliminate an element based on its key. Is there truly no way to accomplish this task, or is there a technique to delete a translation from an instance of TranslatedString?
