Item4175: add translation capability to label of the subscribe button

-- TWiki:Main/HoussineTouh - 01 Jun 2007 I added following two lines to the the code in my local installation to enhance the translation capability of the subscribe button:

i replace the line: my $actionName = 'Subscribe';

with the following two lines:

my $actionName = '%MAKETEXT{"Subscribe"}%';
$actionName = TWiki::Func::expandCommonVariables( $actionName, $topic, $web);

and the line:

my $actionName = 'Unsubscribe';

with the following two lines:

my $actionName = '%MAKETEXT{"Unsubscribe"}%';
$actionName = TWiki::Func::expandCommonVariables( $actionName, $topic, $web);

Please feel free to add this coding to the official plugin

thanks

Thanks Houssine; i thought that had been done in the recent updates; I guess not.

I'm not going to do this right now, however, for a couple of reasons:

1. There is currently no way to get the 'Subscribe' string into the translations files. So no-one will ever know they have to translate that string.
2. There is an open discussion topic on this exact issue that is ongoing (see TWiki:Codev.SupportTranslationInPlugins) - I don't want to pre-empt that discussion and potentially do the wrong thing.

Leaving this open, however, as it's an obvious requirement.

I added the maketext, though obviously the string won't be there in other languages.
