hmm... you're right. And text that contain variables is always complicated to translate (yes, the '2' and '20' can be configured ).

#-o "less than 2 characters" :oops: (should be "less than 3")

So that needs to be updated regardless. I hate just removing the numbers but it sure is the easiest solution. :idea: Maybe I could introduce variables into the text? So that something like "%1%" and "%2%" gets replaced by the numbers.

...

Ok, so the new text is:
"Your search does not contain any valid words.\n\nCommon words and words outside the range of %1%-%2% characters are excluded."
which ends up looking like:

I think this is the most flexible way to allow languages to display variables (especially RTL...) and I wish I had thought of it sooner.

What do you think -- will the introduction of these variables into the text make sense when you're translating it?

Yes, I like it and it's more simple to translate.

Thanks :)
