Hallo,
we have the following string to translate:
> https://translationproject.org/latest/libc/de.po
#: elf/pldd.c:184
#, c-format
msgid "no valid %s/task entries"
The message got added with
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;f=elf/pldd.c;h=1a4c27355e146b6d8cc6487b998462c7fdd1048f
and has a nice commit message. Looking at the source we replace %s with
/proc/<pid>. That's not obvious for a translator, so we might translate
it wrong or misleading.
Would it be useful to add a translator's comment like:
%s will be replaced with /proc/<pid>, so please translate accordingly
Jochen
