Is this use of a variable correct or a bug?

I couldn't investigate it as much as I wanted to (had an important
application deployment at work last night) and I am having problem with
my backend but from talking with other members of the development team
it looks like there is indeed a problem there.
Keep in mind that we only looked at the code, we did not run it...
%d is ok (kinda looks like somebody wanted to use printf like codes)
since it gets remeapped to something else. However it looks like it
might not correctly merge the seconds part and that it not also
correctly handling the plurals (the strings are incorrectly extracted
when the tr() call is done a certain way and it is unfortunatly called
that way here)...
I'll see what I can do about making a patch for this but since we are in
string freeze it probably won't be applied until we start working on 0.25...

Initial translation is definitely a lot of work but you'll see that once
your translation is fully completed maintaining it will be a lot easier
than the first time.
Have a nice day!
