sprintf missformat fatal error php 8

[ognjanovic]

There is a fatal error generated in admin-header.php on line 62

$screen_title  = sprintf(
				/* translators: Editor admin screen title. 1: "Edit item" text for the post type, 2: Post title. */
				__( '%1$s “%2$s”' ),
				$post_type_obj->labels->edit_item,
				$post_title
			);

This part
__( '%1$s “%2$s”' )

There should be a space after %2$s in order to work in php 8.0.14 (the only version I tested in).

Sure. Trying to edit any post or page you’ll get this error

Hello @ognjanovic, I'm assuming you're using WordPress with the Serbian translation? There was an error in the translation which was fixed a while ago, see ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/admin/sr/default/?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=12959676&sort%5Bby%5D=translation_date_added&sort%5Bhow%5D=asc. Please check wp-admin/update-core.php for any translation updates.

Marking as invalid since it's not a bug in core.

I can confirm @ocean90's assessment. Also see: ​https://3v4l.org/88qOj which shows that the code in Core is absolutely fine PHP cross-version. Which automatically points the finger at a translation being wrong.
