Hi Sara

Thanks for your help with this.

I do have an additional question though. In Moodle you can combine letters/words and curly brackets, eg. you can write relevant{$a}string, without spaces before or after the curly brackets. What is the rule when it comes to h5p placeholders?

Can I use :lib-translatedword, translatedword:lib, translatedword-:lib or :libtranslatedword

I ask because I sometime combine a word and a placeholder in my translations. In Danish we have a lot of 'doubbled' words. Eg. I have translated a string like this:

[Missing translation :key] → [Mangler oversættelses-:key]

In this case I have chosen to use a hyphen between my Danish word and the placeholder, in the hope that it will be okay. Normally in Moodle I might have translated the string containing curly brackets without the hyphen.

In addition I might be tempted to write
%libtypen skal...
which would work with placeholder with curly brackets.

Another example:

The :property value can only contain numbers. → :property-værdien kan kun indeholde tal.


Thanks in advance

Bente

Hi Bente!

The cases you mentioned in your message should work as expected if you add the hyphen before or after the ":xxxxx" key (I've been able to confirm them with some quick tests):

  • [Missing translation :key] → [Mangler oversættelses-:key]
  • The :property value can only contain numbers. → :property-værdien kan kun indeholde tal.

For the "%libtypen skal" I need some more information (the original string would help), to confirm if they will work too smile

Kind regards from Barcelona,

Sara

Hi Sara

Thank you for your reply. Now I see the rule as it is ok to use  (if the placeholder is :code or %code)

:code-extracharacters, extracharacters-:code or %code-extracharacters, extracharacters-%code,

but I have to avoid

extracharacters:code, :codeextracharacters and extracharacters%code, %codeextracharacters

so combining the placeholder with another string always should be done with the hypen as separator?

My example with %libtype was just an example created by me, not something from the languagepack.

Cheers from Roskilde smile

Hi Bente!

As far as I've seen, all the cases should work (even the ones without hyphen). The first occurrence of :code (or %code) will be replaced by the corresponding text regardless if there aren't empty spaces or hyphens near. So, if code=xxxxx:

  • :code-extracharacters / %code-extracharacters will be converted to xxxxx-extracharacters
  • extracharacters-:code / extracharacters-%code will be converted to extracharacters-xxxxx
  • extracharacters:code / extracharacters%code will be converted to extracharactersxxxxx
  • :codeextracharacters / %codeextracharacters will be converted to xxxxxextracharacters


Cheers!
