Can't you just use String::createCFString here?

Why "<filename>" and not %s or %@?

No. That function only works on the main thread, and at this point, we have not even established a main thread.

Since this is in cross platform code we cannot use %@ and since the formatter won't necessarily interpret the incoming string as utf8 we can't use %s.

To be clear: The CFString formatter will *never* interpret the string as UTF-8.

There is a downside to "<filename> %dx%d". Localizers can't flip the order like they could with "%@ %dx%d".

They use to be able to do "%2$dx%3$d %1$@".

Though I'm not sure it is the end of the world or if any localizations need it.

Landed in r80014.

They can flip the order. And it’s easier than it is with the format string: "%dx%d <filename>".

Duh! :)

Seems like you need to fix update-webkit-localizable-strings, too.
