Bug Description

The following string:

    wants to access your current location.
    Located in /home/tvoss/ubuntu/scratch/fix-prompt-string/src/location_service/com/ubuntu/location/service/trust_store_permission_manager.cpp:149

Is not a sentence. I need a placeholder for the username, e.g.

    %s wants to access your current location.

So I can translate it as:

    Wants %s your current location to access.

My language's grammar does not allow me to put the appname at the front.

If a placeholder is not possible, I will need a screenshot so I know which workaround to use for my translation.

Looking at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/location-service/trunk/view/head:/src/location_service/com/ubuntu/location/service/trust_store_permission_manager.cpp#L149 it seems a placeholder is already there, but the extra '%' seems to confuse gettext?

std::string description = i18n::tr("%1% wants to access your current location.");
