JHipster custom error message translation

How can I translate custom error message in JHipster App with Angular UI?

I have added custom exception handler:

    @ExceptionHandler
    default ResponseEntity<Problem> handleSomeBusinessException(final SomeBusinessException exception, final NativeWebRequest request) {

        final Problem problem = Problem.builder()
            .withStatus(UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)
            .with("BusinessException", SomeBusinessException .class.getName())
            .with("BusinessMessage", exception.getMessage())
            .build();

        return create(exception, problem, request);
    }

Next I modified alert-error.component.ts

  this.httpErrorListener = eventManager.subscribe('someApp.httpError', (response: JhiEventWithContent<HttpErrorResponse>) => {
      const httpErrorResponse = response.content;
      switch (httpErrorResponse.status) {

        case 422:
          this.addErrorAlert(httpErrorResponse.error.BusinessMessage);
          break;

Unfortunately when I run app and SomeBusinessException is thrown I see follwing stuff in UI:

translation-not-found[Some business message related to SomeBusinessException]

Can you please advise where I can introduce translation of my BusinessMessage?

Update: I have checked src\main\webapp\i18n\en\error.json but it is bound to http.code, not to message itself

This can be done using simple name of exception. Additionally you can pass parameters, to be substituted by ngx-translate.

First of all you need to pass custom parameters within a Problem:

@ExceptionHandler
default ResponseEntity<Problem> handleSomeBusinessException(final SomeBusinessException exception, final NativeWebRequest request) {

    final Problem problem = Problem.builder()
        .withStatus(UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)
        .with("businessException", SomeBusinessException.class.getSimpleName())
        .with("parameterKey", "some value goes here")
        .build();

    return create(exception, problem, request);
}

Second is constructor of AlertErrorComponent:

constructor(private alertService: JhiAlertService, private eventManager: JhiEventManager, translateService: TranslateService) {
...
     switch (httpErrorResponse.status) {
        ...
        case 422:
          this.addErrorAlert('', 'business.' + httpErrorResponse.error.businessException, httpErrorResponse.error);
          break;

Third is to provide translation with parameter (supported by ngx-translate):

src/main/webapp/i18n/en/error.json

{
  "business": {
    "SomeBusinessException ": "Translated text goes here. {{parameterKey}}",
  }
  ...
}

{{parameterKey}} will be substituted by ngx-translate with "some value goes here"

So you will see on screen following message:

Translated text goes here. some value goes here
