Hi Tarmo,

Well this mailinglist is 1. not very active and 2. more specialised in the infrastructure of creative commons tech. This seems more like a general programming question. You might want to have a look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8920139/improved-sprintf-for-php

Cheers,

Maarten

Yep, basically I’m looking for a function that someone’s already made to convert python placeholders to PHP placeholders. Coding it by hand seems silly if it’s already been made. And I do know that the Python placeholders may have various syntaxes, so using a properly coded piece of code seems better than coding my own solution example by example. But if no-one’s ever needed this before (which I find a bit unlikely), I guess I need to do it...

Hi Tarmo,

Could you elaborate? I can easily download the strings in one language useable using the PHP gettext functionality.

If you are looking to replace the paramaters that CC build in like: %(lookup_uri)s you would have to build something yourrself because that is part of the python framework that is used. It would be relatively simple to create a script that goes through every line in the .po file and replaces %(..)s with something in an array.

I don't seem to be able to find where they replace these in the python files on github though.

Best,

Maarten

Hi developers!

Is someone aware of a nice library or script that can convert CC translation strings from Transifex to a format usable in PHP’s i18n framework? Specifically the placeholders are marked differently in the Transifex strings and in PHP, so they need to be rewritten. Is there a tool to do this already?
