When you see something like %( word-in-here )s within the po file, you are reaquired to keep the %()s - it means that the "word-in-here" is a variable type string - which is the "format specification" referred to in the error. The best example of why this is useful is the date field. Say you have the sentence: The date today is 2010/08/12. The date field is most likely a variable, not set in stone, hence the format specification. The position of the date field in any particular language may be different - it may come first or last or in the middle. Finally, date field syntax are usually set by the locale already and need to be adhered to in case the user changes it on a computer by computer basis. In Australia, we use dd/mm/yyyy, the American's use mm/dd/yyyy etc. Anyway, put the %()s around the relevant word in the msgstr field, and you should be set to go. I'd help but my Russian and Ukranian aren't what they used to be :) cheers L. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
