Display taxonomy term in Drupal Twig template translated

node--talk--teaser.html.twig

page--talk.html.twig

{#
  It is a simple solution if there are not to much languages to support.
  The example uses a component based aproach. Look for Emulsify theme for more info.

Hey! This helped me a lot! Thanks, here's an update i thought i'd add:

• Since we can actually get the current language we're using we can modify this code to run in a fewer lines

//Theme File
THEME_NAME_PREPROCESS_NODE(&$variables){
$language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getId();
variables['language'] = $language; // We export the current language id as a variable so that we can use it on the TWIG file
}

//Twig File
{{node.field_talk_category.entity.translation(language).name.value}} // Automatically detects the current language and renders the node entity

Good to know @bmsimo! Also thanks for the update! :)
