[POOTLE] [square bracket] To translate, or not?
Hi, I notice that Pootle interprets "[anything]" (any string in square
brackets) and #anything!, as variables. Other languages translated them,
but I notice Pootle throws severe warnings about it, and expects the
original string.
So, to translate or not?
E.g.
Sql [Native]
[None]
...
#NULL!
#NAME!
...

Pootle's warnings are, well, just warnings. At times they are just
wrong. If you see the strings translated in our established
translations, like German, French, Italian, then trust what others have
done rather than Pootle: Pootle cannot know whether we are using those
strings as placeholders or not.
