Summary	0003938: Untranslatable string
Description	In print_all_bug_optionsinc.php, line 44, there is a string compounded by two translatable words joined by an '': langget( 'additional' ).''.lang_get( 'information' ), This is not localization friendly. In pt-BR translation, this translation is "InformaçõesAdicionais" (the words were swapped). BTW, I didn't understand the need of the '' character between the two words, since other strings in the same array have spaces.
Tags	No tags attached.

vboctor 2004-06-21 08:15 manager ~0005748	We should use parameterised localisation strings which assumes nothing about the logical order of information or words. I didn't look at the code, but it doesn't seem right to me.

~~Wanderer~~ 2004-08-10 03:42 developer ~0006900	We have s_additional_information, using lang_get( 'additional_information' ) seems more logical for me

jlatour 2004-08-10 05:32 reporter ~0006902	Wow, this time I did look at the code and I have no idea why this was done as it was done: the form parameters were being localized, so you were getting the paramater 'print_additional_information' in English but 'print_additioneel_informatie' in Dutch (which is bad Dutch, since the words were translated separately) and in some language probably parameters with strange characters in them. I changed that now: the form parameters are now hardcoded English and the display checks for $s_additional_information.
