[Bug java/32250] New: %s substituted with "interface"/"array" can't be properly translated

[goeran at uddeborg dot se]

In gcc/java/parse.y there is this code:

      parse_error_context
        (wfl, "Class %qs can't subclass %s %qs",
         IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_NAME (this_decl)),
         (CLASS_INTERFACE (TYPE_NAME (super_type)) ? "interface" : "array"),
         IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_NAME (super_decl)));

The strings substituted for the %s are not available for translation.  So this
can not be properly translated.  Even if the words were markes for translation
in isolation, composing a sentence like this is not in general possible to do
for an arbitrary language.  It needs to be split into two separate messages.
