How to show different string for enums Angular 4 typescript

I have a string based enum. Without changing the enum class, I need to display different strings on my modal. My obj contains the enum. My code is as follows:

ENUM:

  export enum FooEnum {
        ONE,
        TWO,
        THREE
    }

HTML:

<select class="form-control"
                    type="text"
                    id="foo"
                    [(ngModel)]="obj.foo"
                    required
                    name="foo"
                    #foo="ngModel">
              <option *ngFor="let foo of fooToList()" [ngValue]="foo">{{foo}}</option>
            </select>

TypeScript:

  fooToList(): Array<string> {
    const keys = Object.keys(FooEnum);
    return keys.slice(keys.length / 2);
  }

I would like to view ONE as Un, TWO as Deux etc. Could you help me pretty please ?

Note: I included angular 2 also because 2 and 4 are highly similar.

You can initialise enums with values too such as

enum FooEnum { 
  ONE = 'Un',
  TWO = 'Deux',
  ... etc
}

See documentation.

Note: This was introduced in TypeScript 2.4
