Using [s%] instead of [%s] in Persian translation
« on: 15 April 2013, 16:45:50 »
I'm translating the game to Farsi.
For this string: "The server has temporarily blocked IP Address [%s] from this game." , I have this one:
".آدرس آی پی [%s] برای این بازی به صورت موقت توسط سرور مسدود شده است"
but I get this error message: "The expression '%s' is not present in the translation."
I checked the Arabic translations and instead of [%s], it was [s%]. this way I don't get the error message. I wanted to know if you have a problem with Arabic or it works fine?

In my opinion.
Efforts must be made to the variables will be exactly the same as in the main language (English).
Maybe in the past that variable had different look and no one in the translation hasn't improved it yet.

Since persian is a right-to-left langauge, s% might actually be correct there. I guess it depends on how the file will be parsed. The best thing to do is to check whether it actually works when you use such a translation in MegaGlest 3.7.1 or, preferrably (such as by using the snapshot builds) later.

Yes Arabic works fine, so s% should be fine.
