#19274 [Opn->Fbk]: gettext doesn't translate if using printf formatted strings

ID: 19274 Updated by: kalowsky@php.net Reported By: bostjan.zoks@uni-mb.si -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Gettext related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: just a typical hack question... does $string = _("my string goes here %s"); printf("$string", 2); or something simliar to that work? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-07 05:51:13] bostjan.zoks@uni-mb.si If using standard strings, gettext correctly uses translated string. If using formatted strings (those that can be used for printf, like "my name is %s and I'm %d years old"), it leaves string in original language. Short example: --- from test.php --- print (_("how are you?")); print "<br>"; printf (_("and now, when asking %d nd time?"), 2); --- from i18n.po --- #: test.php:6 msgid "how are you?" msgstr "kak si kaj?" #: test.php:8 #, c-format msgid "and now, when asking %d nd time?" msgstr "in sedaj, ko sprasujem %d .?" --- output from this script --- kak si kaj? and now, when asking 2 nd time? ------- I'm using PHP4.2.3 as apache1.3.26 module on WinXP.
