Substitution in language string? was created by liaskas
Hello...

I am trying to enter a substitution in a language string override but it seems that i am missing something.

The original string is
'THIS_USER_HAS_NO_BLOGS_25e7d3' => 'This user has no blogs.',

I want it to be...
'THIS_USER_HAS_NO_BLOGS_25e7d3' => '[name] has no blogs.',

On the frontend the [NAME] is not substituted. It remains "[name] has no blogs."

All the following substitutions exist in other language strings and they work! But not for "THIS_USER_HAS_NO_BLOGS_25e7d3" sting.
[name]
[NAME]
[formatname]
[username]
...

Can you please advise how i can make it work?

Thank you in advance.

Substitutions only work where they're specifically parsed for. Most language strings are not ran through substitutions. "This user has no blogs." for example is not ran though substitutions so no you will not be able to add [name] to it.
