Yes, this is generally not a problem.  %s will be substituted with a
string (e.g. sometimes a filename, or something else, depending on the
context).  %d is generally a number.

The pofilter flags are to draw human attention to strings for review,
strings are sometimes flagged based on relatively unsophisticated
algorithms.  pofilter flags are not always errors that need to be
changed.  Ignoring Startcaps flags is not an issue.  On the other
hand, printf usually signifies a real issue.
