I was trying to use substitution in the description of the userlist as it is shown in the documentation page 178. I have a field cb_country and have entered [cb_country] into the description field. However it returns only [cb_country] when I check the description in the frontend.
Also I would like to use language variables in the description. This did not work either.
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Ok, silly me! For some reason I was not logged in when I tried this.... :whistle:
With a user logged in it works as expected. However this shows that in case a user is not logged in the output is quite errrrr useless.
So my questions stands now as: How can I use language strings in the description and how can I use different text for logged in users and guests.

You can't use multiple language strings anywhere in CB at once. You need to create 1 language string and use that language string as your description. Then in the definition of your language string you'd add your substitutions as needed. Example define usage as follows.
Code:
define( '_UE_MYLIST', 'Hello, [name] this is a userlist!' );
Then you'd add _UE_MYLIST as your userlist description. All places that use define usage can also use CBTxt usage assuming the string isn't defined so you could also do the following.
Code:
'Hello, [name] this is a userlist!' => 'Hello, [name] this is a userlist!'
Then use "Hello, [name] this is a userlist!" as your description.
Next to have descriptions with substitutions that are only used for login users you need to use IF substitution statements as follows.
[cb:if user="#me" user_id>"0"]I am logged in.[/cb:if]
See the below substitution tutorial for further information (IF substitution examples shown at bottom of page).
