Pluralise translation shown as a JSON string

[jamiejones93]

Describe the bug
When a translation has is_plural: true, the translation will become a string of JSON

To Reproduce
Fetch a key that has pluralisation enabled

 const keys = await lokaliseApi.keys.list({
    ...
  })

console.log(keys.items[0].translation) // this becomes a string of JSON

Expected behavior
For the translation to be a parsed object

Your environment:

• Node version 14

With the following code:

      const keys = await lokaliseApi.keys.list({
        project_id: "7011443960a248cd821a99.03389258",
        include_translations: 1,
      });
      console.log(keys.items[0].translations);

I can see the following result:

{
    translation_id: 656300673,
    key_id: 91036314,
    language_iso: 'en',
    translation: '{"one":"1 error was found!","other":"[%i] errors were found!"}',
    modified_by: 20181,
    modified_at: '2021-05-17 10:48:54 (Etc/UTC)',
    modified_at_timestamp: 1621248534,
    is_reviewed: false,
    reviewed_by: 0,
    is_unverified: false,
    is_fuzzy: false,
    words: 7,
    custom_translation_statuses: [],
    task_id: null
  }

Basically, an object is returned for a plural key. Is this what you were trying to achieve?.. I don't think that items[0] has a translation property. Also, to properly grab all translations for a key, one has to set include_translations to 1

If that's not what you meant, could you please show an example of what is returned in your case?

@jamesjones93 Is this issue still relevant?

[Elijah S. Krukowski]

I'm going to close this issue for now but if you have further questions please don't hesitate to reopen it!

Hi @bodrovis sorry for the delay!

The issue was that translation: '{"one":"1 error was found!","other":"[%i] errors were found!"}', comes back as a string - maybe it would make sense for this library to parse the result?

Hope this clarifies things

Oh okay, I'll see what can be done, thanks!
