Upgrade StorageNew strings with multiple variables on Transifex
The new strings on transifex include multiple variables (%S) with different meanings and no way to differentiate them. For example,
I also don't think each instance gets the next variable. Given that I help with translating for a language with a very different word order than English, the order of variables get reversed often, anyway. I must be missing something. Some clarity would be useful.
or%S could not make a secure connection to %S.
Those %S appear to mean different things. We used to have them as %1$S, %2$S, etc.Are you sure you want to change the file extension from “%S” to “%S”?.

%1$S/%2$S/etc. is usually used when the same placeholder is used multiple times in a string.
But if the above string would be a problem in your language, we can certainly adjust it. (It's saying, e.g.,
Zotero could not make a secure connection to https://example.com..)Regardless, the string you linked to above (from 2017) would definitely be translated in a different order in my language. That's bound to be a problem at some point in some language.
