The number is calculated as tm.hour - %?, so yes, %0 should be 2
when
%1 is 3.
If '%1' in msgid is a number 'n' and I put '%0' in msgstr,
then '%0' will be displayed as a number 'n-1' (n minus 1), and the
translation will not be lost?
Sorry I meant tm_hour + %1. So if the system time is 5:30, %0 will be
replaced with 5, %1 with 6.
In Chinese there is not the expression of '差' ('to' in 'quarter to
%1')
when we express time. So it need calculate, a hard work to Transifex?
This has nothing to do with transifex, the panel code gets your
translated string and replaces the %?
