Hi,

I'm not sure if there are any written rules for creating l10n strings
within the source code. But one thing that I see quite often is changing
the escape sequence for variables like %s or %d.

So for example the string

Could not load footprint "%s" from library "%s".

is now changed to

Could not load footprint '%s' from library '%s'.

A few months back it was changed to the now again changed style. This
forward and backward makes translation work a bit tedious.

Both variants seen above are common in current generated .po files, but
most of the variables are inside double quotes.

Wouldn't it make sense to write up all these strings based on the same
rules?
