Description

The following string found in Transifex uses edX "as is" and that could be an issue with service provider who use a different platform name than edX.

To fully configure {providerName} will also require sharing usernames and emails for learners and course team. Please contact your edX project coordinator to enable PII sharing for this course.

Key: authoring.discussions.stuffOnlyConfigGuide

I am suspecting edX should be replaced by {platformName} if the variable is available at runtime, but {platformName} doesn't seem to be in any part of the code of the current repo.

Tagging @Carlos-Muniz as he suggested when I originally reported the report in the #translations-working-group channel in Slack.

Research direction

Start by searching the repository and Transifex for the key authoring.discussions.stuffOnlyConfigGuide and inspect how its variables are supplied at runtime. Confirm whether a platform-name variable is available for this string; done means the translated message uses the configured provider platform name or the limitation is documented.
