textdomain with sprintf ?

[Doc]

Hi guys,

I've just discovered (thanks to you) textdomain, which works fine.

Now I'd like to use that functionality with sprintf rather than

echo __("my string to translate", "my path")

Is it possible ?

Thanks

Never used it with text domains but probably something like this would work.

sprintf(__('Hello %1$s how do you %2$s?', '/path/to/'), 'Doc', 'do')

Thanks @Martijn Geerts

It kinda works but I don't get the opportunity to translate the parameters actually.

I write in my translation file '/path/to/myfile.php ' I write :

__('Hello %1$s how do you %2$s?', '/path/to/'), 'Doc', 'do')

but through the admin, the only sentence I see waiting for translation is :

'Hello %1$s how do you %2$s?'

 

[Martijn Geerts]

That's correct. Doc & do are used for %1$s and %2$s.

[Doc]

Yes, I understand that. But then, how can I translate the parameters too ? Do I have to do this separately ?

[LostKobrakai]

Yep, you'd need to translate each string on it's own. And keep in mind that translatable strings need all to be on a separate line for parsing reasons.

Understood, thank you both.
