Current behavior

I'm currently using the 'translate' directive in the following manner (following the examples provided in the readme)

<strong [translate]="'HELLO'"></strong> (note the single quotes)

however the innerHTML of the <strong> element is not filled. The resultant html is as follows :

<strong ng-reflect-translate="REGISTRATION.HEADER"></strong>

On the other hand, when i use the translate directive like in the following manner

<strong translate>HELLO</strong>

the innerHTML of the <strong> element is being filled with the correct translations.

Expected/desired behavior

The first method should work like the second method, as described in the readme.

Please tell us about your environment:

• ng2-translate version: 5.0.0

• Angular version: 2.2.4

• Browser: [Chrome latest]

• Language: [ TypeScript 2.0.10 ]

I have the same issue. It works when you do this:

<strong [translate]="'HELLO'">any non empty content here</strong>

But doesn't work when the content of the node is empty.
