The idea that struck me, and that you can go ahead and implement in your code if you feel like, is that you could have a piece of JavaScript code (an expression, for instance) instead of a translation. Thus for instance the sentence ‘{0} files deleted’ could be translated with

function(p0) { return “{0} file” (p0 == 1?”":”s”) ” deleted”;}

This, of course, is ugly, but with a few function definitions it could get nicer, since you could define (either from the start or as part of the l10n) functions that do specific plurals. Thus the Polish translation might end up looking like (the initial 0 being the argument selector):

polishNum(0, “{0} plik”, “{0} pliki”, “{0} plik’ow”)

This would also allow you to handle gender correctly, something that gettext doesn’t seem to handle. For instance, the phrase “A new blue {0}” would translate into Danish as “En ny blå bil” if {0} is ‘car’, but as “Et nyt blåt hus” if {0} is a house. A generic gender-selector for Danish could then be

danishGender(0, “En ny blå {0}”, “Et nyt blåt {0}”)

The big advantage is that *you* don’t have to define these, you just have to define an appropriate API.

The big disadvantage is that it’s no longer Java-compatible.

can you try a test on your machine?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using jQuery, you can try either with .text(“value”) or .html(“value”) to see if it solves the issue.

As an alternative, you can use the code at the link below, which will just unescape HTML entities:

Hope it helps,

If you’re outputting the value using jQuery, .text(‘value

key=bla bla click here

Well the problem is that it sees that ” is a special char and loads it like:

bla bla <a href="\"link etc

Do you see a quick workaround to this problem?

Thanks

Cheers.

Yes, I’m aware – I actually used your code to debug the issue you have reported
One more thing, since you are using JS vars/functions to access your values from the properties file, you can change to “mode: vars”.

Thanks,
