Fix Period Position in wp-admin/about.php

[extendwings]

wp-admin/about.php#L89 is hard to translate. (at least, in Japanese)

[chriscct7]

Patch from proper directory

[chriscct7]

Refreshed the patch to go from the proper directory.

In general, we don't like to add new strings in point releases, and this string is going to change in 4.4.
I'm quite tempted to suggest we simply remove the period from the placeholder and skip the period in the string, or, simply suffixing the period outside of the translation.

33429.patch​ isn't the same as 33429.diff​ - the latter moves the period from the placeholder to the string, the former misses removing it from the placeholder.

[chriscct7]

Indeed it seems the period is missing. I'll get that refreshed

Replying to dd32:

I'm quite tempted to suggest we simply remove the period from the placeholder and skip the period in the string, or, simply suffixing the period outside of the translation.

33429.2.diff​ implements this, no string change, and suffixes the period even if the placeholders have changed in their orders.

This assumes all languages would have a period to end a sentence.
Looking at existing translations, the following do NOT use a ending period (or it's translation errors)

• Thai, Armenian, Japanese, Bengali, Chinese (Taiwan), Dzongkha

The following DO use one:

• Swedish, English (Australia), English (Canada), Hebrew, Romanian, German, German (Formal), Finnish, Dutch, Welsh, Greek, Polish, French, Italian, Catalan, Basque, Indonesian, Spanish, Galician, Bosnian, Esperanto, Slovak, Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Serbian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Norwegian (Nynorsk), Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Croatian, English (UK), English (New Zealand), Icelandic, Brazilian Portuguese, Hungarian, Portuguese, Albanian, Spanish (Mexico), Danish, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Russian, Peruvian Spanish

@ocean90 What's your thoughts here? Should we just change the string?

The about page is one of the rarely visited screens. I wouldn't change it if it's the only string change.

There'll be a version bump in about.php for 4.3.1, so might as well fix this (without a string change).

In 34054:

About: Remove period from placeholder.

The position of periods is different in some languages, like Japanese. This removes the period from the last placeholder for the Template Hierarchy section. It doesn't include a new period to avoid a string change in a minor release.

Props extendwings, chriscct7.
Fixes #33429.

Merge of [34054] to the 4.3 branch.
