Hi! I’m trying to translate my website from English to Vietnamese. In my database, each category has two fields, one for each language. The codes below is what I use to display the Vietnamese fields.

 // Translate to Vietnamese
 let language = wixWindow.multilingual.currentLanguage;
 
    $w("#dynamicDataset").onReady(() => {
     if (language === "vi") {
        $w('#button1').label = "Tìm hiểu thêm";
        $w("#repeater1").forEachItem(($item, itemData, index) => {
            $item('#workTitle').text = itemData['titleVie'];
            $item('#workSubtitle').text = itemData['vieDetails'];
            $item('#descriptionText').text = itemData['vieShortDescript'];
             // This is where it messes up 
            $item('#bio').text = itemData['artistId']['vieBio'];
        });
        }
    });

But this is what happens when i hit Preview.

Textbox with HTML tags is $item(‘#bio’), in the database is a rich text field.

How do I fix this? If anyone has any idea, please help. Thank you!!!

P/s: Everything else works just fine, it’s only this one that has HTML tags!!

Instead of :

 $item('#bio').text = itemData['artistId']['vieBio'];

try:

 $item('#bio').html = itemData['artistId']['vieBio'];

But remember, the text element has only limited support for html. It’s documented.
