Thread:Support/About Mifos:Pd-errors.mandatoryconfig/en/reply (2)

Yes, we know what variables are in strings. What we are addressing here is that patchwork messages are a bad practice, and make for poorly localisable products. See for example the MediaWiki documentation on this subject.

I welcomed you in another thread, and apologies, as I do not know who you are or what your background is. If you are a developer, please understand that saying "this needs to stay as it is" is probably not a productive answer, as you're not doing two things:
 * 1) Explain what 0, 1 and 2 can be here
 * 2) Try to understand why using 0, 1 and 2 here may be problematic when trying to translate the Mifos product into other languages.

I'd be happy to elaborate on #2, if you're willing to answer the first question. Thanks.
