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

ID: 19274 User updated by: bostjan.zoks@uni-mb.si Reported By: bostjan.zoks@uni-mb.si -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: Gettext related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I just rerun my test stript - after restarting system (which is not something I would do regularly) - and it works. Looks like Windows kept non-working gettext/libintl dll's from 4.2.2 in memory and prevented new libs to work correctly. I don't know. So, this is NOT a PHP bug, it is just one of Windows quirks happened because of PHP upgrade. Now, after first reboot, everyhing works as it should.

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.
