Language strings too fine-grained in default theme's forum statistics

[texttheater]

The issue is with this line in Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php:

', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], ' ', $txt['posts_made'], ' ', $txt['in'], ' ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], ' ', $txt['topics'], ' ', $txt['by'], ' ', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], ' ', $txt['members'], '. ', !empty($settings['show_latest_member']) ? $txt['latest_member'] . ': <strong> ' . $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'] . '</strong>' : '', '<br />

Correct translation to, say, German is impossible because a different inflected form of $txt['members'] is required in this context than in others. I guess the whole message should be a single string.

This has been discussed before, and similar issues have apparently been resolved in other places: http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=4822

Would merging all the text strings into a single one and use sprintf() work for you? I know it will work for Spanish.

Something like:

$txt['blabla'] = '%1$d Posts in %2$d Topics by %3$d Members - Latest Member %4$s'

[Dragooon]

That's what I was thinking as well

[texttheater]

Yes, that would work.

[Oldiesmann]

Sounds good to me as well.

It seems this has already been solved:

c99b41d

or is there another place where the sprintf() needs to be applied?

Oh, you're right! I was looking at the 2.0.8 sources. Sorry for the noise.
