Details

Summary and Info:
The Traditional Chinese translation in makepkg uses unsupported printf format string.
In the zh_TW translation file of makepkg, some translations uses "%1$s" format to re-order the arguments, which isn't supported by bash's (5.0.16) builtin printf command.
For example, in scripts/po/zh_TW.po:

#: scripts/libmakepkg/source/file.sh.in:130
msgid "Extracting %s with %s"
msgstr "正在使用 %2$s 解壓縮 %1$s"

Steps to Reproduce:
Using pacman's PKGBUILD as example
$ export LC_ALL=zh_TW.UTF-8
$ makepkg -o
...
==> 正在解開來源...
/usr/share/makepkg/util/message.sh: line 67: printf: `$': invalid format character
-> 正在使用 ==> 正在啟動 prepare()...
...

Would you be interested in joining the translation team to help fix this? If there are no currently active translators for zh_TW (I don't follow translation status so I don't know what the case is here), Allan will usually accept new translators automatically for whichever language lacks translators.

If you need a translator, I'm glad to help.

Hi, I see on Transifex that this issue has already been fixed, but those changes are not present in the pacman source. It should be good the next time translations get pulled from Transifex.
