- TWiki will translate the
stringto the current user's language only if it has such string in its translation table for that language. - Ampersands (
&) followed by one letter (one ofa...z,A...Z-- say,X) in the translatable string will be translated to<span class='twikiAccessKey'>X</span>. 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 (&&): they will be transformed in just one. - Square brackets
~[and~]in the text have a special meaning and need to be escaped using~[and~], respectively. - Translatable string starting with underscores (
_) are reserved. You must not use translatable phrases starting with an underscore. - Make sure that the translatable string is constant. Specially, do not include
%VARIABLES%inside the translatable strings - string would not get translated because variables get expanded before the%MAKETEXT{...}%itself is handled.
