The error you're encountering is related to a security feature in Chrome that requires TrustedHTML assignment for certain operations, such as assigning to innerHTML. This is part of Content Security Policy (CSP) and is designed to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks¹.

Here are a couple of ways to address this issue:

Method 1: Using Trusted Types API You can create a policy using the Trusted Types API that returns the same input string. Here's how you can do it:

if (window.trustedTypes && window.trustedTypes.createPolicy) {  
    window.trustedTypes.createPolicy('default', {  
        createHTML: (string, sink) => string  
    }); 
}

Then, you can use this policy in your code:

const newElement = document.createElement('div');
var innerHTMLText = 'Traduci';
'use strict';
newElement.innerHTML = window.trustedTypes.defaultPolicy.createHTML(innerHTMLText);
document.body.appendChild(newElement);

Method 2: Using DOMPurify Another approach is to use DOMPurify, a library that sanitizes HTML and prevents XSS attacks¹. Here's how you can use it:

First, install DOMPurify:

npm install dompurify

Then, use it in your code:

import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';

const newElement = document.createElement('div');
var innerHTMLText = 'Traduci';
'use strict';
newElement.innerHTML = DOMPurify.sanitize(innerHTMLText, {RETURN_TRUSTED_TYPE: true});
document.body.appendChild(newElement);

Please note that these methods are designed to maintain the security benefits of TrustedHTML assignment while allowing your code to function as intended¹². If your output doesn't require any markup, you could also consider changing from innerHTML to innerText³.
