Note about translation variablesEdit

Hi, Akwugo. Thank you for helping with translations of Tech/News/2023/10, it is appreciated!

I noticed a small error in the translation, which I have fixed. In a nutshell: when you are translating any pages, the $1 and $words strings of text need to remain exactly as they are in the original (they should not be translated). E.g. Here is the fix I made.

(More detail, in case you're curious about the technical reason: The software allows us to separate out the content that should stay the same between all translations, named "translation variables" or "tvars". This is most often used for links, so that translators don't need to type in the entire [[link to long page name | translated-label]], but can instead just type in [[$1 | translated-label]]. There is not a difference between the $1 and $words; just sometimes people use $words to help give more context to the translators. Which sometimes leads to this error! :D )

I hope those details help. Thank you again for helping with spreading information via translation! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
