PS syntax

[affectiosus]

What is the usage of "%d" and "%s" variables? I cannot find any answer in web except "do not remove...", but need it because of adapting translation.

 

Thx for help.

Where do you see them?

[affectiosus]

For example, in some strings like "There is %d products" etc.

I don't know, how should I correctly translate it to my language because don't know how PrestaShop processes these variables (%d, %s, %1$s, %2$d and so on).

They are v1.5 translation dynamic data place holders, modeled after PHP's sprintf. Where you see d an integer is expected and s, a string. The "%d" and "%s" you see will be dynamically populated during the output of the expression, so do not remove them from the translation. Changing their position within the translated expression is OK. E.g. "there are %d items in the cart" => "pu'chaj buSlaH ngotlhwI %d'; translated into Klingon. Read to be translated expression as if it contains a number and then replace that number with %d in translated expression. Likewise for 's'

So, if I understand you correctly, %d used for integer number and %s for any string?

And what is %1$s?

[phrasespot]

Argument swapping/position specifier. But at least have the courtesy of looking at the documentation link I posted before asking another question. It is all explained there in detail. %1$s is the first place holder that is a string. %2$s, the second and so on. There is more to it. It will be to your benefit to read the documentation.

Ok, thank you, I'll read.
