Hi all, This is about the msgids that were used as format strings, where some of the msgstrs had incompatible formatting directives, e.g. translating "file not found" as "%s not found."
We've just completed a full gettext check of all active Ubuntu releases. Any messages that failed gettext's format-string checks were disabled. In cases where the problem was only in a Launchpad-specific translation, we've reverted to the upstream translations. For Hardy, 1,780 messages were disabled and 239 ones from upstream re-enabled. In 26 cases the upstream message was different but also failed the check. For Intrepid, 1,520 messages were disabled and 376 ones from upstream re-enabled. In 30 cases the upstream message was different but also failed the check. For Jaunty, 1,506 messages were disabled and 299 ones from upstream enabled. In 26 cases the upstream message was different but also failed the check. The number of messages checked was about 2 million per Ubuntu release. These were the currently selected messages with the c-format flag (or equivalent for another language) enabled.
