Description
The POT generating script is throwing a warning flag on browse
downloadmanager.py:344: warning: 'msgid' format string with unnamed arguments cannot be properly localized:
The translator cannot reorder the arguments.
Please consider using a format string with named arguments,
and a mapping instead of a tuple for the arguments.
Specifically this string
#: downloadmanager.py:344
#, python-format
msgid ""
"Downloading %s from \n"
"%s."
msgstr ""
Because this contains two %s variables and because the object-subject ordering in different languages can be different, these should be changed to named variables (adding whatever names would be appropriate.
"Downloading %(page)s from \n"
"%(website)s."
This will allow Localizers to unambiguuosly re-order these variable substitutions in their language's syntax.
