Re: How to refer to another translation in a translation?

Hi,

Your idea isn't that good. The problem is the following:

_("My name is {name}").format(name='Andréas')

This is a translation in a python context. So say that that translation gets translated into another language, where the name should come first:

msgid "My name is {name}"

msgstr "{name} other translated text"

You never know what order the translations will be coming in, in various languages. So you should actually AVOID DRY in translations.... The more you can pinpoint a translatable string the better.

Also - the .po files that are used for translation are a format that is specified OUTSIDE of python and django anyway :)

Regards,

Andréas

msgid "Tree free"

msgstr "aa"

msgid "True free is good"

msgstr "aa is good"

This po file has a key "Tree free", which I translated to "aa". There is another key "True free is good", which should be translated to "aa is good." 

Considering the Don't Repeat Yourself rule, can I refer the translation of "Tree free" in "True free is good".

I'm looking for a syntax or sort of things that is like 

msgid "True free is good"

msgstr "{% trans 'Tree free' %} is good"

Can I refer to another translation in a translation? I'm fine with extending an internal class, how should I do it?
