Currently we display Fluent messages raw, with the ID. That is fine in the Editor, but for the Entities list, metadata and machinery, we should instead use a truncated version of the string, without the ID part (l10n-id =).

TBH, I don't think that ID stripping is what we need here. We rather need getSimplePreview ported from https://github.com/mozilla/pontoon/blob/ed912661961511b9ecf46cd7cc59238562547ef4/pontoon/base/static/js/fluent_interface.js#L901, which also does a bunch of attribute detection etc.

Lowering priority, since this is not needed for Stage 1 testing.

Changing summary to reflect Comment 1.

Keeping summary and Priority in line with bug 1528282.

Comment 4

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I've updated my PR at https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent.js/pull/172 to get the APIs we have in python onto fluent.syntax in js land. I'm expecting them to be useful for this.

Alongside: How would we do the switch between Fluent and not? Based on resource path extension or is there something better?
