Hi,

Should there be some formatting in there to allow for languages where
the ordering of the type name and the object name may differ from
English?

Guillaume?

I tried this too, and it works AFAICT.

Not sure why, in some place we use the _ and in other places, we use
wxGetTranslation.

Apart from that, the code Marek wrote is looking good. I'll work on the
ordering in some time. Or perhaps Marek can work on this, if he agrees. I
don't know enough right know to have a good answer for you. Anyways, there are
other codes in pgadmin that looks like what Marek wrote, so I think we would
better apply his patch, and work on the ordering in a separate patch.

iirc, there is a reason, but I'm darned if I can remember what it it.
Of course, wxGetTranslation won't work well with the stringextract
scripts.

OK - I'll leave this stuff in your capable hands then :-)

You are right. For some languages may be better use some like:

wxString::Printf(
  _("%s %s"),
  (wxString)wxGetTranslation(obj->GetTypeName()),
  obj->GetFullIdentifier()
)

But it solves only little part of more bigger problem which reported
here: http://code.pgadmin.org/trac/ticket/4

It has two solutions (Let's have real example "Cannot drop system %s %
s"):

--- 1. To leave it in translators

Right czech translation is "Nelze odstranit systémovou tabulku XXX"
(accusative case tabulkU). But it is substituted "Nelze odstranit
systemovou tabulka XXX" (Nominative case tabulkA).

I circumvent problem by other formulation in translation: "Nelze
odstranit systémový objekt: tabulka XXX" (= "Cannot drop system object:
%s %s").

Negative: It isn't universal solution. It's differnt laguage by
language.

--- 2. To split it to individual objekts

"Cannot drop system table %s"
"Cannot drop system function %s"
"Cannot drop system sequence %s"
...

Negative: There is much combinations which would increase quantities of
code.

wxGetTranslation isn't passed by argument -k to xgettext in
stringextract script.

Macro _(s) do automatic cast with macro _T(s) before call
wxGetTranslation.

So _(s) is useful for constant strings, which should be extracted to
POT. And wxGetTranslation is useful for wxString variables (expressions
are extracted elsewher, e.g by N_(s) in structure).
