    I’m trying to translate that. But it doesn’t seem to be working. Do I need to implement a slash or something somewhere?

    Hi Jon;

    You shouldn’t need to do anything special. If that’s not working my guess is that that isn’t the trying being used (maybe it’s a default value that’s being overwritten by a setting somewhere?)

    It must’ve been some sort of strange cache, because it seems to be working now.

    Ran into a similar issue, however, the plugin uses a variable defined as %1$s instead of simply %s — any suggestions on how to target this? Works if I edit the plugin string manually and change to %s, but obviously would be broken in a plugin update.

    Edit: Nevermind, just re-applied the edit and it seems to be working properly now. Strange, must have had a typo in the “original string” field…
