&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Language strings are defined as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;$string[&amp;#039;stringname&amp;#039;] = &amp;#039;This is a string&amp;#039;;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and are called via:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;get_string(&amp;quot;stringname&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;wherefrom&amp;quot;)&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to use a variable from the calling page in the string then you will need to use the following variation to call it:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;get_string(&amp;quot;stringname&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;wherefrom&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;passedvariable&amp;quot;)&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The variable can then be used in your string as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;$string[&amp;#039;stringname&amp;#039;] = &amp;#039;This is a string with a variable called $a&amp;#039;;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
