[Bug translation/29917] New: %s substituted with actual words can not be translated correctly

[goeran at uddeborg dot se]

In the function op_error in gcc/cp/call.c there are several messages like

"%s for ternary %<operator?:%> in %<%E ? %E : %E%>"

and

"%s for %<operator%s%> in %<%E%s%>"

among others.  The first %s here is substituted fromthe variable "problem"
which can contain strings "no match" or "ambigious overload".  These latter
words are not available for translation, so the composed sentence will be only
partially translated.  And composed sentences like this is not in general
possible to translate, even if it would work for Swedish.  Each message needs
to be split up in two separate messages if proper translation is to be possible
for all languages.
