Re: Is it possible to reuse one i18n message in another

Don't the "callers" all have to change anyway, in order to express whether they want "this" or "that" or neither?

see http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideI18nMessages.html#SelectForms

public enum ThisThatVariation { THIS, THAT, PLAIN }

public interface MyMessages extends Messages {

  @DefaultMessage("{0}")

  @AlternateMessage({

    "THIS", "{0} this",

    "THAT", "{0} that",

  })

  String thisThat(String text, @Select ThisThatVariation variation);

  @DefaultMessage("search")

  String search();

}

...

  // (GWT.create / init msgs)

  String a = msgs.thisThat(msgs.search(), ThisThatVariation.THIS); // "search this"

  String b = msgs.thisThat(msgs.search(), ThisThatVariation.THAT); // "search that"

  String c = msgs.thisThat(msgs.search(), ThisThatVariation.PLAIN); // "search"

  String d = msgs.search(); // "search"

I have an i18n message like the following:
search = search
search = suchen

I would like to re-use it in other messages (invented syntax):
searchThis = {search} this
searchThat = {search} that

The only way I see is to add a parameter to searchThis and the caller should pass search() inside. But then I have to change all existing calls...

Is it possible to do it transparently for the caller?
