   * Many of the translated strings in the language files are simply chunks of English text.  However, more recent additions are represented as shorter abstract keys (i.e. "adv_search_filters").  The abstract key approach is often preferable since it allows for more concise map files and reduces the chances of conflicts where the same text has multiple meanings.
   * Starting with VuFind® 2.4, a convenient [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/module/VuFind/src/VuFind/I18n/Translator/TranslatorAwareTrait.php|TranslatorAwareTrait]] has been added which adds VuFind®'s standard translation capabilities to any object. Use it in combination with the [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/module/VuFind/src/VuFind/I18n/Translator/TranslatorAwareInterface.php|TranslatorAwareInterface]] to have the translator object automatically injected.
-  * The translate function can accept an array of values to insert into the translation string in order to include variables inside the translation (e.g. numbers). Placeholders for values are generally surrounded by double-percent-signs (e.g. %%token%%) in the language files. Starting with VuFind® 10.0, an additional argument can be added to the translate function to override the simple search-and-replace value insertion mechanism with the more complex ICU MessageFormatter syntax. When using MessageFormatter syntax, placeholders use braces instead of percent signs. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/3286|pull request #3286]] for details and examples.
