Description
Translator for hungary and hongkong chinese wrote:
I can't translate this correctly, as I would need to reorder the variables, but I can't do it, because Transifex complains "The expression '%@' is not present in the translation." if I use %1$@ and %2$@.

Research direction
Start with iOSClient/Supporting Files/en.lproj/Localizable.strings at line 114 and reproduce the reported Transifex validation error when using positional placeholders. Determine how the entry needs to represent its variables so Hungarian and Hong Kong Chinese translators can reorder them without the expression error; done means those translations are accepted.
