Help:Extension:Translate/Insertables/zh

Translatable strings often contain markup that should be retained as-is in the translation. Typing that markup can be slow and difficult because special characters are common. Insertable is a piece of markup that is presented to the translator as a button or other interface element. Clicking the button inserts the piece of markup into the translation to the current cursor position.

Each message group can have one. This class is responsible for generating a list of s.  Each   has three parts:


 * 1) What to display to the user
 * 1) What is inserted before cursor position in the translation
 * 1) What is inserted after cursor position in the translation

Translate extension comes with  built-in. Suggesters for other type of content can be found in the translatewiki.net git repository.
