- Notes:
- TWiki will translate the
string
to the current user's language only if it has such string in its translation table for that language.
- Ampersands (
&
) followed by one letter (one of a...z
, A...Z
-- say, X
) in the translatable string will be translated to <span class='twikiAccessKey'>X</span>
. This is used to implement access keys. If you want to write an actual amperstand that stays just before a letter, write two consecutive amperstands (&&
): they will be transformed in just one.
- Translatable string starting with underscores (
_
) are reserved. You must not use translatable phrases starting with an underscore.
- Make sure that the translatable string is constant. Specially, do not include
%VARIABLES%
inside the translatable strings (since they will get expanded before the %MAKETEXT{...}%
itself is handled).
