changes in news.properties

[Mad Maks]

Hi all

I noticed that there was today a change in news.properties:

-newNewsgroupHeaders=Downloading %S of %S headers for %S
-newNewsgroupFilteringHeaders=Getting headers for filters: %S (%S/%S) on %S
+# LOCALIZATION NOTE (newNewsgroupHeaders): %1$S is the number of the
current
+# header being downloaded, %2$S is the number of headers to be
downloaded, and
+# %3$S is the newsgroup whose headers are being downloaded.
+newNewsgroupHeaders=Downloading %1$S of %2$S headers for %3$S
+# LOCALIZATION NOTE (newNewsgroupFilteringHeaders): %1$S is the name of
the MIME
+# header being filtered on, %2$S is the number of the current header being
+# downloaded, %3$S is the number of headers to be downloaded, and %4$S
is the
+# newsgroup whose headers are being downloaded.
+newNewsgroupFilteringHeaders=Getting headers for filters: %1$S
(%2$S/%3$S) on %4$S

No changes to the entity name so the dashboard will not show this, but i
think it is important to make the change (%S => %1$S, etc) to your locale.

The en-US string is technically the same thing, it just makes it more
obvious how to reorder items inside the string if a localizations needs
that. If no explicit order is given for the printf placables, they're
used in the order as they appear in the string. That is, for the code,

"%S does %S" === "%1$S does %2$S"

Thus, you shouldn't have to do anything in your strings, unless you got
the order wrong and how figured out how to fix it. Which you could have
done before, as even if the en-US string was

"%S does %S",

"%2$S wird von %1$S getan"

is a proper localization (technically, not linguistically).

Since these two new entities were only introduced five days ago in the
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/c41b9cf09178 changeset we felt it
unncessary to change the entity names once again when we only wanted to
add a localization note and a numerification of the variables in the
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/a8f2369df790 changeset.

sure that it was not forgotten to change the entity.
