[Localization] [IMPORTANT] Getting your formatting strings right

[Sayamindu Dasgupta]

Hi all,

While going through the translations, I found that some of the
translators are ignoring the formatting strings in the msgids. Eg,
they are translating "%d Foo" as "Bar" (where Foo->Bar) in their
language.
_Please, please, do not do this._ If you do this, the software will in
many cases crash while working in your language.

To understand the use of these strings, and to know how to deal with
them, please do go through

Thank you,
Sayamindu
