What are those wonky characters?

You will see some strings that look like this:
Sorry, you don't have permission to view the %1$s with id %2$s.

What do I do with the %1$s and %2$s and what do they mean?
These are placeholders that will be replaced with a something else.

Here this sentence in English could be :

Sorry, you don’t have permission to view the contact with id 4344.

Sorry, you don’t have permission to view the group with id 493.

In this case, %1$s corresponds to “contact” or “group”. %2$s corresponds to the id of the record

This message can be displayed for a contact or a group. And we don’t know before hand the ID of the record. This lets you, the translator, make a sentence that is grammatically correct while still using placeholders.

To translate the sentence, just copy and paste the characters ( %s, %1$s, %2$s ) to into your translation.

In french this sentence would give:
Désolé, vous n'avez pas l'autorisation d'afficher le %1$s avec l'id %2$s.
