How to use nested placeholder in localizationformatter ?

[fm119]

Smart.Format("Account Status: {:L(en):{status}}", new Dictionary<string, string>(){ { "status", "Active" } })

I expect the formatter to first replace {status} with the corresponding text from the dictionary, and then translate the resulting text into another language.

TemplateFormatter is not an option for me because there may be many cases for status.

How to use nested placeholders in LocalizationFormatter is described here in the Wiki. In effect it works in the same way as Localization in .NET. So you can add placeholders for variables, but the variables' values don't become a part of the text to translate. Localization is for literals.

I get it, thanks for your response

@axunonb can functionality of parameterized localization as described in the example presented by @fm119 can be supported after extending LocalizationFormatter; will you accept a pr with such an extension?

I'll have a look later this week.

Draft implementation proposed as PR here: #350

@axunonb could you plan a release for #350 so that I can use this feature in my solutions? 😉

Sure. There was another PR pending (support for IReadOnlyDictionary) which will go into the same version. Thanks for your patience. Release will be published later today or tomorrow.
