[Phpmyadmin-devel] localization

[Sebastian Mendel]

Hi,

i know we discussed this already - but i will bring it up again

currently any string needs to be in the locale files, even original english

this makes it harder for external developers with own plugins - whether they
completely ignore our string files or they need to put their strings into
our locale files

i think it would be nice to have a function for this - like many other project

i would suggest something like:

_('query executed successfully');


 - at least an english message is always displayed, even if not defined in
locale files

 - we could better handle placeholders, escaping,


_('query %1 executed successfully', $array_strings, 'html');
_('query {1} executed successfully', $array_strings, 'js');
_('query {{1}} executed successfully', $array_strings, 'plain');

we could split up language files into different parts - no need to always
load all lang strings

we do not need to put english messages in foreign lang files if not translated

we could easily apply filters if required

$str* does not pollute global name space
