[pacman-dev] zh_CN issues in makepkg

Hi,

Currently makepkg can not run in zh_CN due to (at least) this translated 
string:

msgid "Extracting %s with %s"
msgstr "正在使用 %2$s 解压缩 %1$s"

The issue is due to bash not being able to handle positional parameters 
(1$ and 2$) as "$" are special characters to bash. Is there a way to 
translate this string without changing the order of the strings?

Allan
