Some actual code from dpkg's git:

Title:
  The values for variable in string "installed %s script" aren't
  translatable

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As reported in bug 1019172, the given dpkg error message is only
  partly translated. The string "installed %s script" is translatable,
  yet the actual values for %s are both not translatable and unknown for
  translators without any comments.

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/dpkg/+pots/dpkg/fi/232/+translate
  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/dpkg/+pots/dpkg/fi/724/+translate

  This results in error messages such as "aliprosessi installed post-
  installation script palautti virhetilakoodin 255"

  Furthermore, even if the values were translatable, the actual error
  message might be quite tricky for translators (in some languages) as
  it combines many strings and variables. I'd like to see more
  simplified error messages but I guess that's beyond the scope of this
  bug report.
