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is saved and updated, and the translation is marked as fuzzy/outdated if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
