Placeholders for translations

[Jeffrey Kardatzke]

Where is the list of placeholders for translations in Chrome? (i.e. things like USER or DOMAIN) I'm currently using the 'DOMAIN' placeholder which puts a full URL in a translated string such as https://www.google.com/, but I'd like it to just put the domain name instead.  I've searched but can't find the answer.

Thanks,

With most translated strings, we don't so much substitute based on a placeholder name, as make the placeholder name descriptive and simply make the code do the precise substitution expected.  So it's usually up to some block of C++ whether you're getting a full URL, a domain, or something else.

Can you share more details about your specific case?

Now that makes sense...I didn't even look at the code that was using the translation...easy to fix. :)

I was referring to this specifically:  https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:chrome/browser/chromeos/attestation/platform_verification_dialog.cc;l=116
