Help me fix placeholder inconsistencies in some translations – DocsWP

Hello,

As part of my work on a linter for translations, I’ve reviewed the translations that we use for the WordPress iOS app and especially the consistency in their use of placeholders (%d, %@, etc).

I have found a couple of inconsistencies, especially some translations don’t use the same placeholders as the original, and will need to be fixed (especially since usage of mismatching placeholders in a given translation can lead to a crash of the app when formatting the final text).

Can I ask contributors/editors in each of these localesLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ to fix the corresponding translations – so they use the same %d/%@/etc placeholders in the translations than the ones used in the original? Don’t hesitate to comment to let me know when translations for your respective localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico.

Thanks for your contribution!
