%MAKETEXT{"Did you want to [[[_1]][reset [_2]'s password]]?" args="%TWIKIWEB%.ResetPassword,%WIKIUSERNAME%"}%        
  expands to 
          Did you want to reset Main.TWikiGuest's password? 
 
 
  -  Notes: 
-  TWiki will translate the 
string to the current user's language only        if it has such string in its translation table for that language.
  -  Amperstands (
&) followed by one letter (one of a...z, A...Z)        (say, X) in the translatable string will be translated to         <span class='twikiAccessKey'>X</span>.        This is used to implement access keys.        If you want to write an actual amperstand that stays just before a letter,        write two consecutive amperstands (&&): they will        be transformed in just one.
  -  translatable string starting with underscores (
_) are reserved. You        cannot use translatable phrases starting with an underscore.
  -  Make sure that the translatable string is constant. Specially, do not        include 
%VARIABLES% inside the translatable strings        (since they will get expanded before the %MAKETEXT{...}%        itself is handled).
