%(foo)s must die. It's a horrible ui and consistently trips up translators. However, gettext and Launchpad do not yet support the other better formats, so it's reasonable to change these back to %s format for now, because without the content checking that gettext does, the worse effect will be broken ui.
David's agreed on IRC to file an upstream gettext bug to support PEP 292 and 3101 style string substitutions. We'll defer this bug until upstream and LP support the newer formats. -- Error-prone translatable variable names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
