Description

There is a string in /lib/prefs/username.php that really gives me headaches. How on earth does this have to be escaped, so tra() will catch it from the array_merge in custom.php?

Here is the entire file:

function prefs_username_list()
{
	return [
		'username_pattern' => [
			'name' => tra('Username pattern'),
			'description' => tr('This regex pattern requires or forbids the use of certain characters for username. For example to add Hebrew use: /^[ \'\-_a-zA-Z0-9@\.א-ת]*$/ or for Chinese use: /^[ \'\-_a-zA-Z0-9@\.\x00-\xff]*$/'),
			'type' => 'text',
			'size' => 25,
			'perspective' => false,
			'default' => '/^[ \'\-_a-zA-Z0-9@\.]*$/',
		],
	];
}


I hope you had at least some fun constructing this string... Now I have to rewrite this in double quotes, because that is the syntax in custom.php...

Thanks
