Thanks for your bugreport.

This looks like a incorrect translation in rosetta (launchpad translations). I reassign to the translations team.

The problem is basicly that each "%s" in the original string needs the a matching "%s" in the translation as well.

Dear friends,

I've also got this crash.

Is there something I can fix in the translation?

Many blessings.

I think I've fixed the translation, but I can't test it sense I don't know how to reproduce it.

Sorry to comment on a closed bug, but I thought I'd add it here for the record.

This problem was due to the handling of unnamed arguments in format strings in Python:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/409785/comments/9

The workaround is to use named arguments for format strings in the code.
