<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know whether it’s possible to use t() with
a non-English base language?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a site with a base language of Spanish, plus some
other languages, and I need to put a couple of text strings into templates, so
I use t(). I would like to write the strings into the templates in Spanish and
then use the translation interface to translate them into other languages.
Checking the Drupal API for t() seems to indicate strings must be entered into
the DB in English and then translated into other languages.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know the status on this? Can I use Spanish as
input to the t() function?<o:p></o:p></p>
