  • Template (Score:3, Insightful)

    by darobin (1316)

    Why not use a templating approach, wouldn't you have less special cases? "${moduleName} par ${author} a été écrit" (or something more elaborate).

    • Did you read Sean's message? Have you looked at localizing and Locale::Maketext? It's all about templating.... and simple templating as such doesn't work, exactly because the word orders of different languages do not co-operate.
      Or because expressions may separate and split, depending: just think of "c'est nest pas"...
      Or because of plurals happen to be irregular? Or because of gazillion other reasons.

      • Yes, I did read Sean's message and I know that local problems are far harder than that. It's just that reading from the text I got the impression that Sean was using an approach a touch more ad hoc than that, which made me curious (in a conversational way, otherwise I'd have gone read the source).
