Translations not supported

In particular, in Riot web the room name says "Empty room (was ..." when the other user leaves. This string can't be localized so it looks bad when everything else is in another language.

Related code:

matrix-js-sdk/src/models/room.js

Line 1910 in 84637c6

return `Empty room (was ${memberNamesToRoomName(leftNames)})`;

Same issue with memberNamesToRoomName function, it always sets the room name to "{user1} and {user2}" for a room with 3 participants regardless of the current locale.

It is supported, but there's some obvious gaps. We'll use this issue to track those.

ah, I thought this was on riot-web. i18n is not supported at this level.

I guess it's best to move these UI bits to riot-web or React SDK so they can be translated properly. As I understand, this repo is the network part of Riot, why does it set the room names based on the number of participants in it in the first place? Looks like a UI/UX part to me, not the protocol one.

This isn't that low level. The js-sdk is more intended for client developers, which is why it has some of the spec's UI/UX features embedded into it.
