[Phpmyadmin-devel] Field Value Separators in Translation Strings
Hi Everyone, I was looking into the translations of PMA. On the translation server, I found strings with colon (:) in them. For example see code at [0]. Shouldn't colon be outside '__()'function? That would keep all the field-value separators like colon away from the translation strings. [0]: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/index.php#L266 Regards, Dhananjay Nakrani.

Hi Dhananjay, maybe in some language, the colon has to be replaced by the equivalent character in this language? -- Marc Delisle (phpMyAdmin)

The reason for that is that different languages have different colons (even if I skip some weird things, depending on charset used, unicode has two colons, one for standard charsets and one for double width like Chinese or Japanese - : and ：). And even if they have same colon, they for example expect to have space before it... Generally, the string to translate should be always complete string you see in the UI, otherwise it's really hard to translate it properly into some languages. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net

Ohh, okay, so colon should be there. Thanks. :-) Regards, Dhananjay Nakrani.
