Language substitutions in Promotions

I am trying to use language substitutions in a cb subs promotion but the substitutions are not displayed, just the [substitution_string] key. The keys and substitution texts appear as expected in the override section of the default language override tab. I have tried both the append and the custom version of display modification. I know the substitution is active because I can use it in a plan name and it works.

Where are you trying to use a language key (e.g. what parameter specifically)? Please keep in mind language keys do not work inline so trailing spaces can prevent a language key from working.

On the Display tab of the Promotion, in these fields

Plan name override
Plan description override

I thought it might be an interaction with the existing data, such as existing Plan name, but the language key doesn't work even it the Display tab is set to Custom (replacing normal plan name and description

Did you add the language override to CBs language plugin or CBSubs? If added to CBSubs please be sure CBSubs is completely up to date. If added to CB try adding it to CBSubs instead. Be sure there's no leading or trailing spaces when overriding.

I made the changes in the CB default language plugin through the override.php file, confirming them in the plugin via the administrator interface. I installed the CB Subs english language plugin and tried it there and had more success, but not complete. If the promotion display is set replace the strings are displayed correctly, but if it is set to append, the strings defined by the CB Subs language plugin are displayed correctly but the ones defined by CB default language display the key and not the substitution.

I have installed the most recent nightly build to test this, and there are no trailing spaces in the substitution strings.

I was puzzled by your suggestion to try the CB Subs language plugin because in my previous work on language substitutions I saw the following:

It appears this is no longer the case, and that language substitutions for CB subs should be done via separate CB subs language plugins and not the CB language plugins, please confirm.

Language overrides in CBSubs language plugins was fixed awhile back so you can indeed place your CBSubs language overrides there now. If it's working there then suggest continuing to use them there.
