 Wordpress 6.8.2 running on PHP 8.2

 Issue appears on the admin dashboard when using the Afrikaans language in
 WordPress. From some inspection, there are placeholder mismatches in
 admin-af.po.

 {{{PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier "<" in
 /.../.../wp-admin/options-permalink.php:35\nStack trace:\n#0 /.../.../wp-
 admin/options-permalink.php(35): sprintf()\n#1 {main}\n  thrown in
 /.../.../wp-admin/options-permalink.php on line 35}}}

 I have found 3 possible errors in the admin-af.po file:

 1.
 Source text:
 {{{Every plugin and theme in WordPress.org’s directory is 100%% GPL
 or a similarly free and compatible license, so you can feel safe finding
 <a href="%1$s">plugins</a> and <a href="%2$s">themes</a> there. If you get
 a plugin or theme from another source, make sure to <a href="%3$s">ask
 them if it’s GPL</a> first. If they don’t respect the
 WordPress license, we don’t recommend them.}}}

 Afrikaans translation:
 {{{Elke Plugin en tema in WordPress.org se gids is 100% GPL of 'n
 soortgelyke gratis en versoenbare lisensie. Dus kan jy veilig voel om <a
 href="%1$s">Plugins</a> en <a href="%2$s">temas</a> daar te vind. Indien
 jy 'n Plugin of tema van 'n ander bron gebruik, maak seker om <a
 href="%3$s">hulle eers te vra of dit GPL is</a>. Indien hulle nie die
 WordPress lisensie respekteer nie, sal ons hulle nie aanbeveel nie.}}}

 Source text:
 {{{If you pick an option other than Plain, your general URL path with
 structure tags (terms surrounded by %s) will also appear in the custom
 structure field and your path can be further modified there.}}}

 Afrikaans translation:
 {{{Indien jy 'n ander opsie as Eenvoudig kies, sal jou algemene URL pad
 met struktuur sleutelwoorde (terms met <code>%</code> aan beide kante) sal
 ook wys in die unieke struktuur veld. Jou pad kan dan verder hiervandaan
 verander word.}}}


 3.
 Source text:
 {{{When you assign multiple categories or tags to a post, only one can
 show up in the permalink: the lowest numbered category. This applies if
 your custom structure includes %1$s or %2$s.}}}

 Afrikaans translation:
 {{{Wanneer jy 'n klomp kategorieë of sleutelwoorde tot 'n artikel toewys,
 kan met een wys in die skakelstruktuur. Dit is van toepassing wanneer jou
 skakelstruktuur <code>%category%</code> of <code>%tag%</code> bevat. }}}

Comment:

 Thanks for the report!

 #58502 reported about this in another language, but Afrikaans is one of
 two that still need correcting. I'll add a message in Slack for some
 attention.
