    I translated my site using Loco and Google Translate API Key. Translation of language is OK, but certain characters are “translated” the wrong way.

    %1$s —> % 1 $ s (blank spaces in between)
    %2$d —> % 2 $ d (same problem)

    As a result certain sentences are not translated correctly.
    Can anyone advice me on what to do?
    Thank you very much!

    Loco Translate does not currently attempt to fix broken formatting returned from Google, or any other auto-translation providers. These third parties have no way to know what these tokens mean and treat them as punctuation; often reconstructing the sentences ‘wrongly’. I plan to implement formatting validation, but this is not yet available.

    For now, my advice as written here is to always check automatic translations and fix them manually.
