There was a problem hiding this comment.
This changes the order between "translation" and "interpolation".
For instance, if we look at the spanish translations: The old code first looks up the translation of 'every %(number)s %(freq)s', which is 'cada %(number)s %(freq)s', and then fills in the value of number and freq in the string.
The new code will first fill in the values, and then try to look up the string in the translation catalog. For instance, if number is 5 and freq is "years" (which will be translated to "años"), it will look in the translation catalog for "every 5 años", which will not exist.
These same remarks apply to all the other changes in this pull request.
While the change could be made from %-based formatting to .format()-based formatting, f-strings are not capable of dealing with the case of translations.
Also, I can not see what problem this pull request is trying to solve. Maybe that could be better described?
