There are certain files that describe CLDR formats for translation. These files are also used for internal testing, and should be updated when new structure is added. xmbPlaceholders.txt A RegexLookup file that maps from a path to information about placeholders. For example:
The values are separated by semicolons, and are one per possible placeholder. Each value is of the form So for the case of {1}=COUNTRY Argentina placeholder - {1} - the CLDR placeholder entity - COUNTRY - a variable name that represents the kind of entity that will be substituted example - Argentina - an example entity. xmbHandling.txt A RegexLookup file that maps from a path to a message about the path, for use in examples in ST and otherwise. For example:

The placeholders are extracted from the path. For example: In this case, the {1} will be the type attribute value. For some paths, there is a special initial parameter, such as ROOT metazone; [Description TBD]. |
