      The Bug:

      There is a comma splice present within a launcher string used for an unsuccessful attempt at trying to launch the game.

      For a bit of context, a comma splice is when an instance of a comma is used to link two independent clauses, (an independent clause is a clause that can form a complete sentence standing alone). The use of a comma splice is grammatically incorrect and should instead be replaced with a colon, semicolon, conjunction, or a period/full stop.

      Below is a table I've constructed that highlights this error. You can find information about what the current and expected string is and would be, some context regarding it, and a link to the appropriate string on crowdin.

      Current String Expected/Suggested String String Context String URL on Crowdin
      Unable to start <game>, if you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again. Unable to start <game>. If you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again. <game> may replaced with "Minecraft" or "Minecraft Dungeons". Specific to Mac OSX installations. https://crowdin.com/translate/minecraft-launcher/9444/en-engb#5227280 

      Steps to Reproduce:

      • Locate the affected string as listed above.
      • Take note as to whether or not there is a comma splice present within a launcher string used for an unsuccessful attempt at trying to launch the game.

      Observed Behavior:

      A comma splice is present.

      Expected Behavior:

      No comma splice would be present. This should instead be replaced with a colon, semicolon, conjunction, or a period/full stop.
