SalString TranslateConstantWithParams( SalString sConstant, SalArray<SalString> sParam )
The TranslateConstantWithParams method returns the translation of a translatable constant and inserts parameters in the translation.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SalString sConstant | The translatable constant to translate. The text may optionally contain placeholders &0, &1 etc. The placeholders are replaced with the parameters in sParam. |
| SalArray<SalString> sParam | Array containing the value parameters that should replace the placeholders. |
The return value is the translation with the parameters inserted, or the original text with parameters inserted if no translation was found.
A translatable constant is a constant whose value begins with the constant name, a colon, and a space. For example public const string TEXT_Hello = "TEXT_Hello: Hello world!" ;
This method works by replacing placeholders in the message text sMessage with the values of the replacement parameters sParam. A placeholders is an ampersand (&) character followed by a number. The number indicated what parameter value should replace the placeholder. For example &0 is replaced by sParam[0], &1 by sParam[1] etc.
