Description
Hi there,
I found out there is a mismatch in the placeholders between a translation message id and its actual translation in Japanese. You can find the strings here (here is the code that uses this string).
I don't know what is your process to do that but I'll be glad to help. Also, I discovered that because we have unit-tests that compare the strings and their translations and look for mismatches in their placeholders. We could easily implement such a unit test in Django itself.

As Tim said, you should fix the string on Transifex.
However, this reveals a bug in that the offended original string misses the #, python-brace-format marker in the base en/LC_MESSAGES/django.po. I'll fix that.
With the proper marker, this error should have been caught by the gettext check program (msgfmt -vc).
Translations are done through Transifex. Assuming this can be fixed there, then you can close the ticket as we don't use Trac to coordinate that work.
