IMHO we should stick to '''.po''', see [[#Terms retirement]] below. | |||

In object-oriented spirit of Maketext, application should not care about ''how'' to say something, just ''what'' to say. So default English templates may safely refer to 'bugs', and leave the rest to l10n logic. Example: | |||
<tt>template/en/default/bug/create/create.html.tmpl</tt>: | |||
[%# no need to PROCESS "global/variables.none.tmpl" %] | |||
[%# no need to PROCESS "global/field-descs.none.tmpl" %] | |||
... | |||
[% |l %]Bugzilla – Enter Bug[% END %] | |||
customized <tt>en.po</tt>: | |||
msgid "Bugzilla – Enter Bug" | |||
msgstr "Bugzilla@mysite – Submit a Service Request" | |||
To ease such customizations (and to provide backwards compatibility) <tt>en.po</tt> would be preprocessed from <tt>en.po.tmpl</tt>: | |||
[% PROCESS "global/variables.none.tmpl" %] | |||
... | |||
msgid "Bugzilla – Enter Bug" | |||
msgstr "$terms.Bugzilla – Enter $terms.Bug" | |||
This way <tt>global/variables.none.tmpl</tt> would be used only during '''checksetup.pl''', to compile '''.po''' files | |||
