 Do not translate placeholders in strings! Things like %s, %d, %1$s and $somename
 are used to add dynamic content to the string.
 
-%s rappresent a dynamic string, like in "Welcome to %s"
-%d rappresent a dynamic number, like in "%d new messages"
+%s represents a dynamic string, like in "Welcome to %s"
+%d represents a dynamic number, like in "%d new messages"
 $somename is a variable like in php
 In %1$s %2$s,  the numbers are the position index of multiple dynamic content.
 You could swap position in string of indexed placeholders.
