Re: add log messages when replication slots become active and inactive (was Re: Is it worth adding ReplicationSlot active_pid to ReplicationSlotPersistentData?) - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Translation-wise, this doesn't work, because you're building a string.
There's no reason to think that the words "logical" and "physical"
should stay untranslated; the message would make no sense, or at least
would be very ugly.

You should do something like

if (am_walsender)
{
    ereport(log_replication_commands ? LOG : DEBUG1,
        SlotIsLogical(s) ? errmsg("acquired logical replication slot \"%s\"", NameStr(s->data.name)) :
        errmsg("acquired physical replication slot \"%s\"", NameStr(s->data.name)));
}

(Obviously, lose the "translator:" comments since they are unnecessary)


If you really want to keep the "logical"/"physical" word untranslated,
you need to split it out of the sentence somehow.  But it would be
really horrible IMO.  Like

errmsg("acquired replication slot \"%s\" of type \"%s\"",
       NameStr(s->data.name), SlotIsLogical(s) ? "logical" : "physical")
