About %s order problem
Hi guys,
The problem I met is: when there exist two or more %s in a msgid line
of a PO file,
for example：msgid "Creating %s filesystem on %s". How to setup their
order in a right way in translation.
I use %1$s and %2$s to distinguish them in msgstr line. But this
didn't work, and showed
error message: fatal error 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format
string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the
character '$' is not a valid conversion specifier.
I suppose that this is a PO file format related problem. The problem
will cause some of languages(like Chinese) translation in a wrong
order, and be misunderstood by end-users.
How to solve this?
PS: The example msgid I use in this mail, is from anaconda.po fedora
14 branch.[1]
