...continuing the tutorial
I tested eval_gettext using the instructions
HERE
You can use the echoed text in useful situations. Here's an example with
yaf-splash. Take the echo of eval_gettext command
Code: Select all
eval_gettext "Remaining files: \$filecount"; echo
... and put backquotes around it to make a command's output text
and stick it in a standard yaf-splash line.
Code: Select all
yaf-splash -close box -fontsize large -bg orange -fb black \
-text "`eval_gettext \"Remaining files: \\\$filecount\"; echo`"
Notes:
1) Double quote character( " ) needs to be escaped i.e. \
2) The dollar sign character($) needs three 'Escapes' i.e. \\\
Here is the output of localised script in German...

Here's another useful example this time with an Xdialog command
with multiple lines of text in the action line of a button.
First define a variable 'MESSAGE'
Warning ! 'Export' of variable must be used.
Code: Select all
export MESSAGE=$(gettext "John's message\\nin the office")
Here is the action line of the button...
Code: Select all
<action>Xdialog --ok-label "$BTN4" --backtitle "\n\n $MESSAGE " --msgbox "" 0 0</action>
Here is the output if translated to French...
