Bad placeholders in a string

l10n
#1

Hi all,

I keep stumbling accross this string:
"DDE link to % for % area % are not available."

Currently it has key-ID "5Uf9f" on master, and context "app.src
STR_DDE_ERROR string.text".

Could someone clarify what those %s stand for?
(And ideally, they should be changed into proper placeholders that could be
moved around in the translated sentence if need be.)

Best regards,

Hi Mihkel,

I changed the placeholders, that was the easy part. See
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/19624/
I don't know what exactly this is, but from the code, it seems that
the 1st placeholder is "application", the 2nd is "topic", and the 3rd
is "item". I assume you know what DDE is, in general.

Best regards,
