Screenshot of dialog showing the problem

This was originally a report from IRC concerning the non-ODF format
warning/confirmation dialog. Button text showed %FORMATNAME in place of the
actual variable value.

In my local repo I went to 
translations/source/fi/sfx2/messages.po

and changed the appropriate block to have a mnemonic like so:

#: alienwarndialog.ui:43
msgctxt "alienwarndialog|save"
msgid "_Use %FORMATNAME Format"
msgstr "_Käytä %FORMATNAME-muotoa"

I updated the .mo file with

msgfmt -o instdir/program/resource/fi/LC_MESSAGES/sfx.mo
translations/source/fi/sfx2/messages.po

This made the button text render ok, BUT in a crazy turn of events made the
other button display %DEFAULTEXTENSION. The other button was missing the
mnemonic as well, so this change made everything fine:

#: alienwarndialog.ui:27
msgctxt "alienwarndialog|cancel"
msgid "Use %DEFAULTEXTENSION _Format"
msgstr "Käytä %DEFAULTEXTENSION-_muotoa"

Next, I tried to cause the same problem in the German translation. Curiously,
it was not enough to simply remove the mnemonics. It was only after I changed
the word benutzen to blabla that the problem appeared!
