Bug#1115109: mate-utils: Japanese translation of mate-screenshot causes filename prefix that breaks `*.png` matching
Package: mate-utils
Version: 1.26.1-1+b3
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: kisaragi.effective@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
In the Japanese locale, `/usr/bin/mate-screenshot` generates filenames where the word "スクリーンショット" ("screenshot") appears **at the end of the filename**, after the `.png` extension. This breaks filename matching with `*.png` patterns used in various scripts and file processors.
## Example:
Expected:
スクリーンショット %s - %d.png
Actual:
%s - %d.png スクリーンショット
This appears to be caused by faulty translation of format strings.
As a result, a generated filename might look like this:
2025-09-13 11-44-46.png スクリーンショット
## Suggestion
To avoid ending with it, modify the `ja.po` with the attached patch.
