Fatal Error on /wp-admin/options-permalink.php with Afrikaans translation

[hermankritz]

Wordpress 6.8.2 running on PHP 8.2

Issue appears on the admin dashboard when using the Afrikaans language in WordPress. From some inspection, there are placeholder mismatches in admin-af.po.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier "<" in /.../.../wp-admin/options-permalink.php:35\nStack trace:\n#0 /.../.../wp-admin/options-permalink.php(35): sprintf()\n#1 {main}\n thrown in /.../.../wp-admin/options-permalink.php on line 35

I have found 3 possible errors in the admin-af.po file:

1.
Source text:
Every plugin and theme in WordPress.org&#8217;s directory is 100%% GPL or a similarly free and compatible license, so you can feel safe finding <a href="%1$s">plugins</a> and <a href="%2$s">themes</a> there. If you get a plugin or theme from another source, make sure to <a href="%3$s">ask them if it&#8217;s GPL</a> first. If they don&#8217;t respect the WordPress license, we don&#8217;t recommend them.

Afrikaans translation:
Elke Plugin en tema in WordPress.org se gids is 100% GPL of 'n soortgelyke gratis en versoenbare lisensie. Dus kan jy veilig voel om <a href="%1$s">Plugins</a> en <a href="%2$s">temas</a> daar te vind. Indien jy 'n Plugin of tema van 'n ander bron gebruik, maak seker om <a href="%3$s">hulle eers te vra of dit GPL is</a>. Indien hulle nie die WordPress lisensie respekteer nie, sal ons hulle nie aanbeveel nie.

Source text:
If you pick an option other than Plain, your general URL path with structure tags (terms surrounded by %s) will also appear in the custom structure field and your path can be further modified there.

Afrikaans translation:
Indien jy 'n ander opsie as Eenvoudig kies, sal jou algemene URL pad met struktuur sleutelwoorde (terms met <code>%</code> aan beide kante) sal ook wys in die unieke struktuur veld. Jou pad kan dan verder hiervandaan verander word.

3.
Source text:
When you assign multiple categories or tags to a post, only one can show up in the permalink: the lowest numbered category. This applies if your custom structure includes %1$s or %2$s.

Afrikaans translation:
Wanneer jy 'n klomp kategorieë of sleutelwoorde tot 'n artikel toewys, kan met een wys in die skakelstruktuur. Dit is van toepassing wanneer jou skakelstruktuur <code>%category%</code> of <code>%tag%</code> bevat.

Thanks for the report!

#58502 reported about this in another language, but Afrikaans is one of two that still need correcting. I'll add a message in Slack for some attention.
