Just a reminder, when you mark a string for translation, you have to
pass the
string itself to _(), not a variable whose value is the string.
This does not work:
msg = "some string"
_(msg)
You have to do:
msg = _("some string")
Wait, really? Crap, I do that all over the place.
Actually, that makes total sense. Never thought about it as I was doing
it. I have a lot of fixes to make.
and then use msg wherever you need to.
If the string is long and you want to wrap it across lines, use python's
built-in string concatenation (don't use + to concatenate strings):
msg = _("a really really "
"long string")
Had no idea this existed, good to know.
And, do parameter substitution outside:
msg = ("Some Cool %s") % "stuff"
not
= ("Some Cool %s" % "stuff")
That one I remember is still not completely correct. I forget the
reasoning, but substitutions have to be dict based:
m = _("Some string %(foo)s")
m % {'foo' : 'bar'}
