Comment (by dd32):

 Replying to [comment:2 dd32]:
 > I'm quite tempted to suggest we simply remove the period from the
 placeholder and skip the period in the string, or, simply suffixing the
 period outside of the translation.

 [attachment:33429.2.diff] implements this, no string change, and suffixes
 the period even if the placeholders have changed in their orders.

 This assumes all languages would have a period to end a sentence.
 Looking at existing translations, the following do NOT use a ending period
 (or it's translation errors)
  - Thai, Armenian, Japanese, Bengali, Chinese (Taiwan), Dzongkha
 The following DO use one:
  - Swedish, English (Australia), English (Canada), Hebrew, Romanian,
 German, German (Formal), Finnish, Dutch, Welsh, Greek, Polish, French,
 Italian, Catalan, Basque, Indonesian, Spanish, Galician, Bosnian,
 Esperanto, Slovak, Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Serbian, Norwegian (Bokmål),
 Norwegian (Nynorsk), Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Croatian, English (UK),
 English (New Zealand), Icelandic, Brazilian Portuguese, Hungarian,
 Portuguese, Albanian, Spanish (Mexico), Danish, Macedonian, Ukrainian,
 Russian, Peruvian Spanish

 @ocean90 What's your thoughts here? Should we just change the string?
