Some strings to be translated may contain special characters. Different types of special character that may be encountered are:
\. Backslashes must be escaped using another backslash, so if you wanted to display a single backslash \, you would put \\ in your translated string.
+ ". Double-quotation marks must be preceded by a backslash, ie. \", or BOSS will crash when it tries to display the string.
\n. Do not change the position of these characters relative to the surrounding text, they are responsible for creating new lines.
&. If a string contains a word that begins with or includes an ampersand, the string is for a menu item and the ampersand is a symbol placed before a specific letter and used to show which keyboard key can be used to select that menu item. The ampersand can be moved to be placed before a more appropriate letter in the translated text.
- %1%.
- %s or %3.0f.
- %1%. If formatting placeholders are used in the untranslated string, they must all be present in the translated string, or BOSS will crash when it tries to display the translated string. Placeholders can be moved around so that the sentence makes grammatical sense in the target language.
