Title:
  Bad string composition

Status in Ubuntu Calendar App:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Following string in ../EventDetails.qml:75

   "Every %1"

  with the comment "TRANSLATORS: the argument is a day of the week or a
  list of days" indicates that %1 will be replaced with day names.

  That won't work well for at least Serbian, because day names need to
  be put into declinations when used with "every" instead of the
  generally used nominative declination.

  I am sure other languages would be affected as well.

  There'd be more problems like these in the calendar app, but proposing
  solutions would require careful analysis that I lack the time for
  right now.  As a general rule, expanding all composition into fully
  spelled out sentences is much better, even if a bit more verbose.
