[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#9428) bug in windows binary port of freeciv

["Laurent Vogel" <lvl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9428 >

Hello,

most windows binary versions of freeciv (at least up to and including
the version published on 7 july) do not display correctly
the localized messages involving use of the 'advanced' printf
functionality like %3$s.

typically in the french locale, the following message:

  #: server/diplomats.c:690
  #, c-format
  msgid "Game: %s's %s stole %s from %s."
  msgstr "Jeu : Le %2$s de %1$s a volé %3$s à %4$s."

gets displayed as:

  Jeu : Le $s de $s a volé $s à $s.

instead of something like

  Jeu : Le FOO de BAR a volé BAZ à WHATEVER.

(where FOO, etc. are the real strings to be displayed).

Thanks in advance for considering this bug.

Laurent
