Hey everybody.

I've been testing the Spanish (El Salvador) version of SchoolTool trunk and 
noticed some new untranslated strings. So I went to Launchpad and started 
translating them.

This message got my attention:

%s has no days in A%s

which is located in /src/schooltool/export/importer.py:78

So I checked that module and saw (line 78):

...
ERROR_HAS_NO_DAYS = _("%s has no days in A%s")
...

and then (line 528):

...
self.errors.append(ERROR_HAS_NO_DAYS % (data['title'], row + 1))
...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess this won't work, right? I mean, it won't 
get translated, since i18n messages use a 'mapping' instead, correct?

I remember I asked Justas on a similar problem when I was working on the email 
package. Every time I had to present the user a translated message I created a 
new copy of the original message and used the 'mapping' parameter 
(src/schooltool/email/browser/email.py:323)

So in this importer case, it would be like:

...
ERROR_HAS_NO_DAYS = _("${x} has no days in A${y}")
...

and then

...
message = _(ERROR_HAS_NO_DAYS, mapping={'x': data['title'], 'y': row + 1})
self.errors.append(message)
...

Am I way off here? Is there a better solution? Is it a limitation of the 
i18n.message package? Or is it me who's not using it right?

Thanks.

Douglas
