When referencing a phrase in a template, you need to know the following information:
The phrase name (phrase_name)
The phrase name is what uniquely identifies a phrase and how phrases are referenced. Generally, the phrase name reflects the phrase text directly; for example, the phrase with variable name poll_timeout has the text of Poll Timeout.
The phrase group
If the phrase is in a group, you can access it only on pages that load that group.
To use a phrase in a template, you need to use the following constructs.
phrase
{vb:phrase phrase_name[, arguments for phrase...]}
Example:
{vb:phrase welcome}
{vb:rawphrase phrase_name[, arguments for phrase...]}
Example:
{vb:rawphrase message_by_x_on_y_at_z, {vb:link member, {vb:raw postinfo}}, {vb:raw postinfo.username}, {vb:raw postinfo.postdate}, {vb:raw postinfo.posttime}}
