Hello,
This is my code:

CPrintToChat(client, "%s %t", prefix, "Respawns left", client, RespawnLeft[client]);

And this is the translation:

	"Respawns left"
	{
		"#format"	"{1:d}"
		"en"	"You have {1} respawns left!"
		"se"	"Du har {1} respawns kvar!"
	}

The value of RespawnLeft[client] is 3, but it prints 1. How come? Did I do something wrong?

Have you tried ?

PHP Code:

CSetPrefix("MyPrefix"); 


Btw. isn't there a difference between %t and %T ?
- Yes, use %T

you can do

PHP Code:

#define prefix [PreFix]
CPrintToChat(client, "%t", "Respawns left", prefix, RespawnLeft[client]); 


"Respawns left"
	{
		"#format"	"{1:s},{1:d}"
		"en"	"{1} You have {2} respawns left!"
		"se"	"{1} Du har {2} respawns kvar!"
	}

and your question bout why its printing 1 is because in your code you are passing the client index

CPrintToChat(client, "%s %t", prefix, "Respawns left", client, RespawnLeft[client]);

Format translate like this:

PHP Code:

    "Respawns left"
    {
        "#format"    "{1:N},{2:d}"
        "en"    "{1}, you have {2} respawns left!"
        "se"    "{1}, du har {2} respawns kvar!"
    } 


or PrintToChat like this:

PHP Code:

 CPrintToChat(client, "%s %t", prefix, "Respawns left",  RespawnLeft[client]);

Because it's fun to recompile whole plugin if you want to change the prefix...

What is the difference? I used %T before and it gave some errors, maybe used it in the wrong context?

I could be wrong but this is an educated guess:
%t uses the global translation target (I believe PrintToChat and similars set the global target to the client before formatting)
%T requires at least 2 arguments, the translation key + translation target (which is what your original post is designed for).

Edit: Looks like a few natives doesn't set the global target to receiving client (PrintToConsole looks like one of them).

Oooh, I see! So then what I only need to do is change %t to %T, nothing in the translation-file correct?

For example line you used in original post, yes.

It all works now! Thanks, folks

BTW, what would you guys think is preferable? Global translation or client translation? I'm guessing global translation target is the servers' language setting
