Description
What version of Go are you using (go version)?
$ go version go version go1.21.1 darwin/arm64 $ go get golang.org/x/[email protected]
What did you do?
Executed the following https://go.dev/play/p/htbw6anb94b
message.SetString(language.German, "foo", "bar")
message.NewPrinter(language.German).Print("foo")
message.NewPrinter(language.German).Printf("foo")What did you expect to see?
barbar
What did you see instead?
foobar
When using the Printer.Print function, I expect language substitutions to occur. If no language substitutions were wanted, I would use fmt.Print instead. I would not normally use Printf unless I am using a format specifier.
The Printer.Print documentation says
Print is like fmt.Print, but using language-specific formatting.
However it doesn't specify what types of language-specific formatting is actually applied. I'd expect string substitution to be one of these language-specific formatting.
Erroneous use of Printer.Print can also be seen on this blog post which uses Printer.Println instead of the working Printer.Printf
Is this a bug, or expected behaviour?
