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!</pre>
