Hi,

First thanks for this a great module. I have a problem because currently I'm maintaining a multilingual site and the [site-name] was not translated. I now use the following hack to make the sitename translated:

$page_title_pattern =  str_replace('[site-name]', t(variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal')), $pattern);

but still wondering if there's any better way to do that?

Hmmm Translated tokens! Interesting. How do other token modules get around this?

Turns out other modules dont get around this ;-)

Spoke to eaton on IRC and it turns out this is an issue with Token which is under discussion...

add i18n module tt wrapper, to allow node type info to be translated

I wrote in #545710: Token are not all translated correctly, which was marked a duplicate of this issue:

Token would have to pass those strings through t() as a variable, which is explicitly discouraged in t()'s documentation, but I've seen done elsewhere. The other option is to define a small token function that can run i18nstring.module's tt() function (for example, see #635474: Add support for i18n to translate node type names). The third option would be to define your own tokens for the translated node type.

Since core's D7 token implementation does not translate variables, I think we should put this as won't fix since #3 is the only appropriate solution.

Plus, translating something that's not normally should probably be a feature, not a bug. :)

The i18n module should provide its own tokens if it needs to.

Dave, i dont think this is about tokens specifically for i18n. Its about the token framework being able to support other modules adding tokens that can be translated.

I see it used in some token code now; but when i just added some new token code and wrapped in t(). The strings never showed up in translation interface search.

That's because doing t($variable_or_something_that_is_not_actually_a_string); is an invalid usage of t().

in mymodule_token_values()

if i have

$values['some-token'] = t("some string i would like to translate");

this string is not searchable in translation interface.
