#VarMAKETEXT
---+++ MAKETEXT -- creates text using TWiki's <nop>I18N infrastructure
* Syntax: =%<nop>MAKETEXT{"string" args="..."}=
* Supported parameters:
| *Parameter* | *Description* | *Default* |
| ="text"= or =string="text"= | The text to be displayed. | _none_ |
| =args="param1, param2"= | a comma-separated list of arguments to be interpolated in the string, replacing the =[_N]= placeholders in it. | _none_ |
* Examples:
* =%<nop>MAKETEXT{string="Notes:"}%=
%BR% expands to %BR%
<em> %MAKETEXT{string="Notes:"}% </em>
* =%<nop>MAKETEXT{"If you have any questions, please contact [_1]." args="%<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER%"}%=
%BR% expands to %BR%
<em> %MAKETEXT{"If you have any questions, please contact [_1]." args="%WIKIWEBMASTER%"}% </em>
* =%<nop>MAKETEXT{"Did you want to [<nop>[<nop>[<nop>_1]<nop>]<nop>[reset [_2]'s password]<nop>]<nop>?" args="%<nop>TWIKIWEB%.ResetPassword,%<nop>WIKIUSERNAME%"}%=
%BR% expands to %BR%
<em> %MAKETEXT{"Did you want to [[[_1]][reset [_2]'s password]]?" args="TWiki.ResetPassword,%WIKIUSERNAME%"}% </em>
* __Notes:__
* TWiki will translate the =string= to the current user's language _only_
if it has such string in its translation table for that language.
* Amperstands (<code>&amp;</code>) followed by one letter (one of a...z, A...Z)
(say, =X=) in the translatable string will be translated to
<code>&lt;span class='twikiAccessKey'&gt;X&lt;/span&gt;</code>.
This is used to implement access keys.
If you want to write an actual amperstand that stays just before a letter,
write two consecutive amperstands (<code>&amp;&amp;</code>): they will
be transformed in just one.
* translatable string starting with underscores (<code>_</code>) are reserved. You
*cannot* use translatable phrases starting with an underscore.
* Make sure that the translatable string is _constant_. Specially, do *not*
include <code>%<nop>VARIABLES%</code> inside the translatable strings
(since they will get expanded *before* the <code>%<nop>MAKETEXT{...}%</code>
itself is handled).
