broken shortcodes at the “Development” page

[bestwebsoft]

Hello, Team!

We have already reported the issue about the broken shortcodes at the “Development” page of Subscriber plugin (​https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/subscriber/#developers) twice in your translators blog starting from Jun 07. The ploblem appears when switching to the Russian language (​http://prntscr.com/fiw05y).
We followed the advice and rejected the translation of the string containing “or” but the problem still remains. In fact, we don’t have any shortcodes translated, even partial. Please help us with this issue.

To clarify a bit, the issue is caused by the ​"or" string translation.

In Russian, "or" is translated to "или", which breaks the plugin directory shortcodes:

• [wporg-plugins-reviews] becomes [wpилиg-plugins-reviews].
• [wporg-plugins-developers] becomes [wpилиg-plugins-developers].

Random string parts shouldn't be translated like that, only the whole strings should be.

We have already rejected “or” string translation for about 2 or 3 weeks ago (​http://prntscr.com/fr22cp). The problem is still there. Could you please advise our further actions?

Replying to bestwebsoft:

We have already rejected “or” string translation for about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

The first translation was ​rejected by @fierevere on June 7th, but on June 9th you've ​submitted a new translation, which reintroduced the bug.

The problem is still there. Could you please advise our further actions?

I'd suggest waiting until @ocean90 can take a look.

2919.2.patch​ takes word boundaries into account, so that strings inside shortcodes are not randomly replaced.

Plugin directory: prevent very short translations from interfering with shortcodes. Props @SergeyBiryukov.

Fixes #2919
