Content of several variables in a fuzzy string
-
Came across a fuzzy string today (link). Could someone shed some light on the contents of the three variables? Without it a proper translation is very difficult.
(This is an %1$s subscription, you will be charged %2$s again on %3$s)
The most important one is the first variable. I guess the second variable stands for an amount of money, the third for a specific date.

Hi Martin!
I’m not sure how to add context within GlotPress, so I’ll need to contact the i18n team about that. But, I did find the context for the string.

The first variable will end up being “annual” or “monthly”, then the second is the price charged and the third is the renewal date. From what I can tell the words “monthly” and “annual” for the first variable are hardcoded without translations though, so I’m going to float this in front of the internationalization developers.

Hi Martin,
We found a few problems with the string and our developer is currently working on a fix. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Hey there!
Our developers have fixed the issue by forking the string into three, giving translators more context as a result:
This is a monthly subscription.

This is an annual subscription.

You will be charged %1$s again on %2$s.
