Avoid using HTML tags in translation strings (wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php)

[ramiy]

Old string:

• <span>%1$s, %2$s</span> <a href="%3$s" aria-label="%5$s">%4$s</a>

New string:

• <span>%1$s, %2$s</span> %3$s

I replaced <a href="%3$s" aria-label="%5$s">%4$s</a> with %3$s, moving the HTML out from the translation string.

(See the attached patch)

@ramiy I think we can move <span> tags out of the string too, see 36013.2.patch​.

Nice, but this way the translator can't present the post title before the date&time.

@ocean90, could you take a look if any locales currently do that? It's separated visually, so I don't think there are any (checked he_IL too to make sure it's not an RTL issue).

@SergeyBiryukov,

You can commit your patch,

The span added display: inline-block; and min-width: 150px;.

The date is always before the post title.

I18N: Remove HTML tags from translatable string in wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php.

Props ramiy, SergeyBiryukov.
