- 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.
- Ampersands (
& ) followed by one letter (one of a...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 (since they will get expanded before the %MAKETEXT{...}% itself is handled).

%VARIABLES% inside the translatable strings - string would not get translated because variables get expanded before the %MAKETEXT{...}% itself is handled.
