Re: Arclight 25.12 %DPMTO%, %TID% displayed in right corner
[In reply to]

Thank you Nicolas and Stuart for clarifying this.
I have tested this by restoring the transtaltion of string %DATE%,
%TIME% in mythfrontend_nb.ts to the original value, and the date/time
is displayed correctly.
I also checked the translation to see if other %xx% strings where
translated, but the above string was the only one.
I will create separate tickets with patches for 0.25-fixes and master
to correct this.
Thank you for your help,
best regards,
Rune
