+// All language files should use UTF-8 as their encoding and the files must not contain a BOM.
+//
+// Placeholders can now contain order information, e.g. instead of
+// 'Page %s of %s' you can (and should) write 'Page %1$s of %2$s', this allows
+// translators to re-order the output of data while ensuring it remains correct
+//
+// You do not need this where single placeholders are used, e.g. 'Message %d' is fine
+// equally where a string contains only two placeholders which are used to wrap text
+// in a url you again do not need to specify an order e.g., 'Click %sHERE%s' is fine
