i agree with miles they should be slugged, short and precise and explained in both the english and foreign .po file
like "regMessageSuccess" and "You have been successfully registered" "Sie sind nun erfolgreich angemeldet" or "valErrorRecordNameExists" for "A record with this name already exists" this way you can easily change the "original" language text (here: english) without having to change all the x places in the script as well maybe it is now supposed to be "You cannot have two records with the same name" but the short slugged term has still the same basic meaning and therefore remains the same On 13 Okt., 18:12, Miles J <[email protected]> wrote: > I am personal extremely against naming your ids the full sentence, > what purpose does that serve?
