  Hi there, I am using “milestones” in “widgets” and there is a translation error. It says 22 “horas para ir”. Or 1 “mes para ir”. This is a literal translation from English (22 hours to go) and it sounds very strange in Spanish. It should say “faltan 22 horas”, “falta 1 mes”, or it could also say “22 horas para el acontecimiento” (though the first option sounds much more natural.
  I hope that someone will make changes to the “milestones widget”
  Best wishes,
  Bianca

  Thanks for pointing out the issue.
  This is the current translation: “%1$s %2$s para ir.”
  https://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/es/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=41262&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=1836827

  %1$s is replaced with a number, %2$s is hour(s)/day(s) etc.
  Is there any good suggestion using this format (with current placeholders)?

  Yep: 22 (horas) para que ocurra / 1 (mes) para que ocurra.
