[Bug java/32249] New: %s substituted with "interface"/"class" can't be properly translated

[goeran at uddeborg dot se]

In gcc/java/parse.y there is this code:

        parse_error_context
          (cl, "Public %s %qs must be defined in a file called %<%s.java%>",
                             (is_interface ? "interface" : "class"),
                             IDENTIFIER_POINTER (qualified_name),
                             IDENTIFIER_POINTER (raw_name));

The strings substituted for the first %s are not available for translation. 
But as it is written, they are the English words, not the syntactical tokens. 
So this can not be properly translated.  Even if the words were markes for
translation in isolation, composing a sentence like this is not in general
possible to do for an arbitrary language.  It needs to be split into two
separate messages

------- Comment #1 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-06-08 18:36 -------
I'm closing this, because parse.y no longer exists on svn trunk.
If you find instances of this bug in the remaining parts of gcj,
please file a new PR.  Thanks.
