Comment # 16 on bug 980329 from Stefan Hundhammer

The fix will become available with yast2-devtools-4.2.6.

But it can already be used independently if downloaded from here:

 
https://github.com/yast/yast-devtools/blob/master/build-tools/scripts/po_add_format_hints

It doesn't need any YaST development environment, only Ruby (which all SUSE
users should have installed anyway for YaST) and the "gettext" Ruby gem for
that Ruby version (see ruby --version)

  sudo zypper in ruby2.6-rubygem-gettext

For more details, see

  https://github.com/yast/yast-devtools/pull/152


All YaST .pot files that we generate from now on should already contain format
flags generated by this script, so they will trickle down to the translators
with the normal translation workflow.
