Question

I’d like to use variables in some way in gettext .po files, for example:

msgid "ui_settings_connect_text"
msgstr "Connect to another running instance of " APP_NAME

Has anyone tried to do something like this before?

Answer 1

In your .po file:

msgid "Connect to another running instance of %s"
msgstr "Connect to another running instance of %s"

In your app:

printf(_("Connect to another running instance of %s"), app_name);
