[Bug java/32250] New: %s substituted with "interface"/"array" can't be properly translated

[goeran at uddeborg dot se]

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

      parse_error_context
        (wfl, "Class %qs can't subclass %s %qs",
         IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_NAME (this_decl)),
         (CLASS_INTERFACE (TYPE_NAME (super_type)) ? "interface" : "array"),
         IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_NAME (super_decl)));

The strings substituted for the %s are not available for translation.  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.

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.

Ok.  I've found a few more in parse.y, but I won't bother to report them then. 
So far nothing outside this time around, but I have a few hundred messages to
go ... :-)
