### How do I translate substituted strings? (e.g. '%s')
### How do I translate a module not listed on getlocalization?
You don't have to - if the english master-string reads 'Hello %s', your german translation would be 'Hallo %s'. Strings prefixed by a percentage-sign are automatically replaced by silverstripe with dynamic content. See http://php.net/sprintf for details.
At the moment, only the core modules ("framework" and "cms") are managed through
the getlocalization service.
For other modules, have a look in the module README if there's any specific instructions.
If there aren't, you'll need to translate the YAML files directly. If the module is on github,
you can create a fork, edit the files, and send back your pull request all directly on
the website ([instructions](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo)).
