+mobile-l Hi Android devs,
For non-Android devs who are wondering what the issue is: Android string resource syntax for parameters is based on Java + printf syntax. So, we end up with parameter placeholders like %s %2$s %.2f . Some translators just think they can use $1, $2, like with PHP or iOS. Looks like the days of invalid parameter formats from translators are numbered, or at least the likelihood will be reduced since https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/220418/ got deployed a few minutes ago. While we have an automated test for that in the Android test suite, it's better to have the checks run closer to the source. According to Niklas: > Translators see warning above the text area about incorrect or missing > parameters while they are translating. Checks also get run when translation > is saved and updated, and the translation is marked as fuzzy/outdated if > the checks fail. Cheers, Bernd
