Hi Adam,
As you already found {0} and {1} are placeholders for month and year
respectively. The syntax documented
in
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html,
being special characters, do not need translation in properties file.
But in the code, when we pass the values for month and year to these
message parameters, we have to pass the internationalized
value derived from Joda, like you pointed out in one of the previous
mails and I think we are passing only English values for months from
code as of now.
A JIRA ticket is a good idea as anyone can pick this up. I am lost in
some Pawdep loan calculations, will be revisiting cashflow module in a
couple of weeks and verify this. If this is a priority, let me know, I
will fix it right away.
regards
vinod

Hi Vinod, will you reply to my email, below?
I'd like to add a 3rd option, one in which I'd actually prefer:
3. file the issue(s) in JIRA
And I'll ask our i18n champions (Stanley Kwok and Jasmine Sandhu) to
work on them.

Hi Vinod,
I think translators might get a little confused by these messages.
What are {0} and {1}?
CashFlowForm.monthlyCashFlows.expense=Please specify expense for {0} {1}.
CashFlowForm.monthlyCashFlows.revenue=Please specify revenue for {0} {1}.
CashFlowForm.monthlyCashFlows.notes=Notes should be between 1 to 300
characters for {0} {1}.
Will you either:
1. make them more clear/translatable
2. document these strings
If you choose the 2nd option, a comment above each should be fine for
now; eventually we'll want to get these in the Translatewiki.net
format (they store them in an L10n file using the fake "_qqq" locale).
Ah, I just took a look at 43c0a20953 ... looks like {0} and {1} are
month and year (at least for the 1st two messages), yes?
Anyway, just wanted to make sure our code is translatable.
