Hi all
while translating to Czech, I noticed that some messages are not really
good translatable. I've fixed what I've found so far and I've written
some guidelines to avoid such problems in future.
You can find the hints on our wiki:
http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Gettext_for_developers#Translatable_messages
Please try to remember that phpMyAdmin is being translated to wide range
of languages and they compose the sentence in different ways.

Thanks for the hints.
Format string order - do not assume other language
will keep order of printf parameters, in many case it won't.
How to avoid this then?
Untranslated parts - you might want to use some value
directly as received from MySQL (eg. ON/OFF), but in most case it will look oddly in
translated version.
It would be bad to change that in the case of server variables, since
mysql only accepts setting english ON/OFF ;)
I think it would be misleading to have ON/OFF translated.

Use position based format strings such as %2$s, updated wiki with this.
Indeed in some cases it makes sense to keep it, but definitely not in
situations like 'Turn %s'.

Sounds like my code for toggling the event scheduler. Thanks for fixing
that for me :)
