Render Content with Markup Using react-intl FormattedHTMLMessage
In this lesson, we’ll use the react-intl FormattedHTMLMessage component to display text with dynamic values along with other HTML elements to create emphasis on a piece of text.
Note: FormattedHTMLMessage should be used sparingly because react-intl cannot intelligently update the component by re-rendering only pieces that have changed. Instead, it has to re-render the entire component. If possible, use a FormattedMessage component instead, and wrap that component with HTML markup.

I guess, you can always set the global javascript constant in you html markup (which is generated on your server), like: <code><script>var _USER_LANGUAGE = "en-EN"</script></code> and get to this var on client side.
