You can easily return string using intl object provided by react-intl.

this is how you use intl object inside react class in much more easier way.

note: Render Component (main component) should wrap with IntlProvider

class MySubComponent extends React.Component{
  {/*....*/}

  render(){
    return(
     

        

    )
  }
   }
MySubComponent.contextTypes ={
 intl:React.PropTypes.object.isRequired
}

By defining contextTypes it will enable you to use intl object which is a context type prop. See react context for more details.
