False positive in validation warning for missing/unexpected variables
Last modified: 2014-03-06 00:55:19 EST
Description of problem: The following msgid/msgstr causes a false positive in the validation warnings: msgid: "... which allows curly brackets (<literal>{</literal> and <literal>}</literal>) to be used..." msgstr: "... geschweifte Klammern (<literal>{</literal> und <literal>}</literal>) erlaubt..." Steps to Reproduce: See URL provided in next (private) comment. Actual results: Validation warnings: Missing variable: {</literal> and <literal>} Unexpected variable: {</literal> und <literal>} as soon as you translate "and". Expected results: No validation warning, "and" should be translatable Additional info: This seems like a rather rare constellation of tags/brackets and doesn't pose a big problem or anything. Low impact/priority.
Note: Comment 1 and Comment 2 are just links to an example row on a non-public server. They are hidden to prevent frustration trying to follow the links from outside the VPN, which won't work.
This warning is caused by the Java Variables Validator, which may not be appropriate to run against this project. If Java variables aren't used in this project, the appropriate action here would be to deactivate that particular validator for the project.
Closing because: - minor issue - seems to be a difficult fix for the value gained - rare occurrence - there's a "workaround" (indicated above)
