zf2 translate validators messages with variables

I have custom message like this:

'options' => array(
    'min' => $min,
    'max' => $date->format('Y-m-d'),
    'inclusive' => true,
    'messages' => array(
        Between::NOT_BETWEEN => "The input is not between '%min%' and '%max%', inclusively",
    ),
),

I put this string in .po file and generate .mo, but message won't translate. For all other messages without variables it's working fine.

It would have been nice, if you had given more explanation. Generally If string contains variables , You have to replace them with string formatters.

In your case msgid "The input is not between %s and %s"

I hope it should solve your problem.

You can read in the ZF2 official documentation on how to do this.

The translation files for validators are located at /resources/languages. You should simply attach a translator to Zend\Validator\AbstractValidator using these resource files or in your case your own file for your custom messages.

$validator->setDefaultTranslator($translator);

EDIT

I misinterpreted your question, here an edit

Can you not translate the message before binding the variables like this:

$translator = ...translator...

'options' => array(
    'min' => $min,
    'max' => $date->format('Y-m-d'),
    'inclusive' => true,
    'messages' => array(
        Between::NOT_BETWEEN => $translator->translate(
            "The input is not between '%min%' and '%max%', inclusively"
        ),
    ),
),
