Search prompt not translated?

[Miki]

Hi Jeff,

the search box is not in the translations strings ...

Also the file type on upload eml files

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

"less than 2 characters" (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. 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

Miki
