### Working with PO files
See the [GNU gettext documentation](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Files.html) for an introduction to the PO file format.
We make heavy use of __python-format__ for formatting, for instance:
```
#: file_cmds.py:353
#, python-format
msgid "%(file_name)s downloaded to %(save_dir)s"
msgstr "Laddade ner %(file_name)s till %(save_dir)s"
```
There are also a few instances of formatting in JavaScript:
```
#: templates/index.html:381
msgid "Server responded with code: {{statusCode}}"
msgstr "Servern svarade med kod: {{statusCode}}"
```
And with html tags:
```
#: templates/index.html:304
#, python-format
msgid ""
"Emulates a SCSI DaynaPORT Ethernet Adapter. <a href=\"%(url)s\">Host "
"drivers and configuration required</a>."
msgstr ""
"Emulerar en SCSI DaynaPORT ethernet-adapter. <a href=\"%(url)s\">Kräver "
"drivrutiner och inställningar</a>."
```
