Bug 2188479

The translation is malformed somehow. I will look at it, but there's nothing apparent in Weblate :-/


Logs from today's scheduled release indicating the same - https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/actions/runs/4922471265/jobs/8793287126

Ah, got it now via poedit. The message is "%d _storage device selected". The check for this is enforced in code but somehow is not showing up in Weblate. I will see if it's a Weblate misconfiguration on our side or something more. I will also comment in Weblate.

Findings:
- Message is 10 years old
- Message is marked as python-format
- Weblate has the corresponding check turned on as mandatory
- Arabic translation changed 3 weeks ago
- Arabic translation is technically wrong according to this rule
- Weblate shows nothing in the UI

Side note: The error is rather terse so it's not immediately clear: This is about matching amount of format placeholders (%d), not matching amount of plurals.

So, there was some discussion on May 15 that this was "fixed", but we still don't see Arabic in current Rawhide composes with anaconda-39.15-1.fc39 from May 16. Was the "fix" supposed to be included in that, or not?

Sorry - turns out that the change in Weblate did not propagate fast enough to get into the build. I assumed it would sync +- daily, as it usually does. Once I found this happened, I had Weblate sync the repos manually, but it was after the release of course. Next week's release 39.16 on May 23 should be finally fine - the change .

(Of course, if somebody comes in the meantime, does not read the comment and puts the broken string back, it's broken again...)
