#. Can somebody provide the context?
msgid "for"
msgstr "ため"

'ため' is actually '結果'

if I can change a order of strings...

Image for (search keyword)

is have to be

(search keyword)の画像

(for = の)
(Image = 画像)

add...

34 ~ 36 lines

#. in https://duckduckgo.com/params. multiple fors
msgid "%s for %s"
msgstr "%1$sは%2$sのため"

is have to be "%1$sは%2&sを意味します"

and, in 2696 ~ 2697 lines...

msgid "More Images"
msgstr "画像をさらに表示"

in these words, also have to change the order of the strings.

"More Image" "for" "(Search Keyword)"
is have to translate to
"(Search Keyword)" "の" "画像をさらに表示"
("(Search Keyword)", "for", "More Image")

@GioSensation Okay, I pulled my request.
But, I have no idea how I can change the order of the strings...
There has any solutions to change order?

Thanks, @lilyharuna. I am reviewing your PR right now. Unfortunately, you cannot change the order of words when they are not part of the same string, as in your first example. We have a few of these, unfortunately, but we are aware of the issue and will try to correct them in the future.

You can, however, switch the order when you have placeholders in the same string, as in "%s for %s". In this case, you can number the placeholders and switch them around, like %2$s for %1$s. Here I moved the latter placeholder to the first spot, so something for somethingElse becomes somethingElse for something.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions, otherwise feel free to close this issue.

Thanks!
