Does it still happen in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)?

The broken translations should be fixed.

There’s a problem with the translation of `read_more_MF`. Currently it looks like this:
```
Kalan {
UNREAD, plural,
=0 {}
one {
1 okunmamış
} other {
# okunmamış
}
} {
NEW, plural,
=0 {}
one { {BOTH, select, true{ve} false {} other{}} 1 yeni konu}
other { {BOTH, select, true{and } false {} other{}} # yeni konu}
} var, veya {CATEGORY, select, true { {catLink}} false {{latestLink}} kategorilerindeki diğer {} konulara göz atabilirsiniz }
```
The problem is in the last part:
> var, veya {CATEGORY, select, true { {catLink}} false {{latestLink}} kategorilerindeki diğer {} konulara göz atabilirsiniz }
It’s not possible to have arbitrary text outside the curly braces of the options `true`, `false` and `other`.
I’d suggest something like this, but I need your help in fixing this, since I don’t speak Turkish. 😉
> var, veya {CATEGORY, select, true {kategorilerindeki {catLink}} false {{latestLink}} other {}} konulara göz atabilirsiniz"
Take a look at [Message Format support for localization](https://meta.discourse.org/t/message-format-support-for-localization/7035) if you want to know more about Message Format.

Here is my suggestion:
`{ UNREAD, plural, =0 {} one { 1 okunmamış mesaj } other { # okunmamış mesaj } } { NEW, plural, =0 {} one { {BOTH, select, true{ve} false {} other{}} 1 yeni konu} other { {BOTH, select, true{ve } false {} other{}} # yeni konu} } var. {CATEGORY, select, true {{catLink} kategorisine} false {{latestLink}} other {}} göz atabilirsiniz.`

That looks correct. I updated [the translated string on Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/translate/#tr_TR/clientenyml/13697764?q=key%3Aread_more_MF). The issue in Discourse will be fixed the next time we pull translations from Transifex.

I changed it on my admin panel. Yes it’s works. But is this best template, I’m not sure.
