I sometimes do translation offline. Download from weblate, translate using POEdit, then upload back to weblate. Translation review are also much easier done that way. Problem is POEdit show 2 lines with problem. So I try to verify using msgfmt (msgfmt -vco /dev/null collabora-online-ui-id.po). It also display 2 fatal errors:
collabora-online-ui-id.po:2800: 'msgstr' is not a valid JavaScript format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 't' is not a valid conversion specifier.
collabora-online-ui-id.po:2807: 'msgstr' is not a valid JavaScript format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 't' is not a valid conversion specifier.
msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
600 translated messages.
I translate into Indonesian.
Line number and content of collabora-online-ui.po:
2796 #: src/map/handler/Map.FileInserter.js:105
2797 #, javascript-format
2798 msgid ""
2799 "The file of type: %0 cannot be uploaded to server since the file has no name"
2800 msgstr ""
2801 "Berkas bertipe: %0 tidak dapat diunggah ke server karena berkas tidak memiliki "
2802 "nama"
2803
2804 #: src/map/handler/Map.FileInserter.js:107
2805 #, javascript-format
2806 msgid "The file of type: %0 cannot be uploaded to server since the file is empty"
2807 msgstr "Berkas bertipe: %0 tidak dapat diunggah ke server karena berkas kosong"
I did not solve that problem because I can only change translation strings, while the problem need to be solved by changing source string.
Thanks for reporting this. Luckily it’s just a minor annoyance, COOL does not use gettext, we replace the literal ‘%0’ to a string by the code. But it does not have be ‘%0’. It could be ‘$0’ or ‘{0}’, whatever we like. So possibly, I’ll change this, not to annoy people who check their po files with msgfmt command. It’s not only about changing source strings, it requires changes in the surrounding code, too.
