 I replaced %toDoAction with %ifYouDoAction in the above example in my
 lastest patch. That way the translation will become

 "If you %ifYouDoAction the system folder or its contents, you won't be
 able to boot Haiku! Are you sure you want to do this? To %ifYouDoAction
 the system folder or its contents anyway, hold down the Shift key and
 click \"%toConfirmAction\"."

 Is that right? I'm sorry if I misread what you wanted me to change. I am a
 bit confused now.
