Can't figure out how to use translation variables

[MarcGodard]

I tried:

{$t("foot", { default: 'hello', count: 1 })}

The default works, but using the example, the count isn't working. What am I missing?

I copied the API from svelte-i18n. Values must be passed inside a values key. In your example it should be {$t("foot", { default: 'hello', values: { count: 1 } })}. I personally don't like that too much, I find it a bit verbose, but since svelte-i18n is the most popular i18n library for svelte by a lot I thought it was wise to just use the exact same API to make transitioning to this library dead simple.

You can find the docs for svelte-i18n here about this topic in https://github.com/kaisermann/svelte-i18n/blob/main/docs/Formatting.md#format-_-or-t

Has this been tested with the latest kit version? Its not working for me and its the ONLY thing I added so far.

This: {$_("foot", { values: { count: 5 } })} shows up as {count} is awesome! (yes I simplified the example)

[cibernox]

Yes, it does work. I just created a test app quickly to prove it: https://github.com/cibernox/quick-i18n-throwaway-demo

@cibernox Thanks, must be missing something.

@MarcGodard if you find what you missed let me know, it's probably a signal that I should improve the readme.

There was a svelte error that was causing all this. Once I fixed it, it fixed this.

Great to hear, closing this!
