we have problem with word order between SVO - SOV structure.
more about this, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_order#Constituent_word_orders

Example)
At line 80-81

<string name="decyrption_of_items_for_team">Decryption of items for team</string>
<string name="failed_due_to_incorrect_password">failed due to an incorrect team password</string>

would display like this in english in app:
Decryption of items for team '%s' failed due to an incorrect team password

but in korean, translated like this:

팀 '%s'의 항목 복호화가, 팀 암호가 잘못되어 실패했습니다.
Team '%s' 's item decryption, failed due to an incorrect team password

so this sentense can't properly translated seperatly under string / %s / string structure.
I try to translate this sentence as it is, but I couldn't find solution except three of em below.

  1. add format strings
  2. just don't translate that part & remove (it won't spoil sentence structure.)
  3. awkward, but just leave it.
