New string is available. Use get_string('labelsep', 'langconfig') to be used
as a separator between a label and the labelled text. If you want to
produce <label> HTML element, you may be interested in the new
html_writer::label() method. Simple selects and URL selects now use it.
There are bambillion places where ': ' is hardcoded as a separator. I do
not think we have to fix them manually now (and mass search and replace
would be tricky) but everybody should stop adding new.
Do not abuse 'labelsep' for any other purposes. Note that it may not be
colon in some languages or sites.
As all strings must be defined in the English language pack, we must add
thislanguageint into English langconfig.php, too. Also added empty
parentlang, even it is not used, for the same reason.
From now on, all English strings use the new syntax. They are not
eval()'ed any more and the only valid placeholders are {$a} and
{$a->foobar}. No extra quotes escaping, dollar sign escaping and putting
double percent signs.
The modified files were exported from AMOS database repository in the
new syntax and were re-ordered by stringid. Standard GNU/GPL and PHPdoc
blocks are added. Where there was no copyright note so far, I added the
default one with Martin Dougiamas as the copyright holder.
Live long and prosper.
