Board Game Arena

Hello

In that game, the log on the right side is not translated, and I don't know why


What I do:
$prompt = clienttranslate("Message to be displayed {var}");
$prompt = str_replace("{var}", var_value, $prompt);
$this->notify->all("message", strval($prompt ), [] );

Am I doing something wrong?

I checked in translation HQ, the strings that are in the log appears there and are translated


Thanks

This is the forum for translations, not for development, maybe you ask your question at https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12 to reach experienced developers.

I have no experience with BGA development, but I found an example for translating texts with variables. Maybe that helps:

clienttranslate_('First part of the string, ${argument} second part of the string'), ['argument' => $argument ]

See https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Translations for more details on developing and translation.

try using $var_value...

Developer here. That's not the correct way to do notification, which is why nothing is being translated.

$name_of_card = clienttranslate('Ace of Spaces');
$this->notify->all("message", strval(clienttranslate('You just played the card ${cardname}'), [
"i18n" => ["cardname"],
"cardname" => $name_of_card,
] );

Of course, it's even simpler if you don't need to translate the argument.

$value = 5;
$this->notify->all("message", strval(clienttranslate('You lose ${num} health'), [
"num" => $value,
] );

Instead, you're signalling that $prompt should be translated, but then you're sending a string that's different than $prompt. $prompt is a portion of that string, but it doesn't automatically translate small portions. That would break a lot of stuff.
