How can I use parameters with language files? - El Forum - 07-09-2012

In my language file I need a sentence with a parameter in it.
In the CI native language files I've seen that some of them have a %s which works as parameter.
How can I use the same in my language files? How do I pass the words which will replace the %s?

I suppose it is enough to use printf() when I have to to show the message.

It is indeed the printf-function that is used for these cases. You just cannot echo in this case but have to use a printf of the language-line
