    Good day,

    I was busy translating the English PO file into Russian when I came across with this problem. Is there a some kind of solution for it?

    Thanks in advance!

    It looks like you are not creating a translation, but you are just changing the English file.
    You need to use the option “create a new translation”.
    Not sure that will solve your trouble.

    Have you looked at

    Normally that means there are strings with errors. They are normally marked in red and placed at the bottom of the file.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks

    Well anything I write as the translation for this text, it gives me this error message;

    Error: a format specification for argument 1 doesn’t exist in ‘msgstr’.

    I have no idea how to fix this..

    That source text contains two variables, and you are not using those in the translation.
    The translation is expecting 

    %s

    twice
