Two questions:

- Is "%s requires %s" already used elsewhere or is it a new translatable
string? The commit message should clarify the choice.

- Do translators know that the two %s will be substituted with options
(mostly)?

Show 8 quoted lines

Here, the second %s is not an option. I hope that does not invalidate any translation of the string.
