Description
Strings that contain placeholders — such as %s
, %d
, and %1$s
— should include accompanying translator comments. This provides context to translators and allows for more accurate translations.
The meaning of even seemingly simple strings containing placeholders may not be clear to translators who are not intimately familiar with WordPress, unless a translator comment is provided.

@johnbillion Comments which are for the placeholders %s or %d shouldn't use "1", it should be the name of the placeholder.
