How to translate this piece of text in the Message Field?

I tried to add
$Definition['You have selected'] = 'Markiert:';
to the site_core.php of the german locale pack

Welcome to the community!

Some translate strings support variable information. My guess is it is something like 'You have selected %s'. You will need to search the files for 'You have selected' to make sure.

peregrine

it is not translatable in vanilla 2.0.18.x , unless you make the following changes.

change
 'You have selected %1$s.',

to

 T('You have selected %1$s.'),

in

applications/vanilla/controllers/class.moderationcontroller.php

since you didn't specify your version of vanilla, I can't provide you with exact line numbers.

If there is already a T on the line all you need to do is add the proper definition, which you should easily find by learning how to search code with grep or notepad++.

after you make the change in core (if necessary) than add a definition

$Definition['You have selected %1$s.'] = 'Have you learned to use search or grep in your code %1$s.';

peregrine

use the locale developer plugin. search for T strings in code.

identify your version of vanilla in your OP always. since the answer may be different depending on your version of vanilla
