I'm wondering if '$1' shouldn't appear AFTER 'description', in a language like French that places most Adjectives and modifying nouns AFTER main nouns.

So is $1 a 'NEW description', 'a PREVIOUS description', 'a HOUSE description'  ? or is $1 a '1. description' or something else that might preserve this word order?


Thanks, Madelaine

Thanks for looking into context-appropriate translation. The numbers preceded by a dollar sign are so-called "parameters": they are replaced with variable content by the software. As the message documentation says (displayed next to the translation editor), this $1 gets replaced by an URL. The order has to stay like that because of the link markup, for instance
