Text in screens

[Triority]

Is there a way of extracting text (for translation or otherwise) from inside screen() functions? I use something like text __('Text') but it wont extract

Can you show an example of what does not work?

Generally "Mark string as translateable" (_()) and "translate immideately" (__()) are enough if the rest of code is translation-friendly.

One example would be :

screen parentDialogue_S_1():
text "{font="+persistent.pref_text_font+"}{size=+0}{color=#d10aab}"+__('As requested, here\'s your report.')+"{/color}{/size}{/font}" at alpha_dissolve xpos MESSAGE_LEFT xanchor 0.0 ypos BASEMESSAGE_YPOS+(MESSAGE_YPOS*0.0) yanchor 0.0

__() should add string in list of transaltable strings. Did you regenerate translation file after adding it? Did you check whole translate strings statement that was generated? Sometimes string you want is hidden between unrelated strings.

Ah, yes. Found it in the translated files. That's good.

Thanks for your help!
