Hallo!

php syntax allows both the usage of
'foo' => '...'
*and*
'bar' => "..."

However only o few messages are using 'bar' => "...".

These are:

'alreadyloggedin' => "...",
'anoneditwarning' => "...",
'anontalkpagetext' => "...",
'blockededitsource' => "...",
'blockedoriginalsource' => "...",
'clearyourcache' => "...",
'editinginterface' => "...",
'loginsuccess' => "...",
'missingsummary' => "...",
'userinvalidcssjstitle' => "...",
'welcomecreation' => "...",

At some point in time tools for computer aided translations will / might be
used. The automatic validation of translations could be simplified if only one
of syntax versions would be used.

I suggest to use the only the
'foo' => '...'
syntax.

Are there any arguments against this?

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
