[Openstack-i18n] Czech translation error

Hi, Akihiro

It is a bug in the source code, isn't it ?
I don't see the translations are wrong.

msgid is "Instance launched."
We cannot simply add %s to msgstr[0].
Zanata will report a warning: Unexpected variable: %s

I think the source string "Instance launched." should add %s firstly.
"Instance launched." should be changed to "Instance %s launched."
And then, the translation msgstr[0] should add %s correspondingly.

Best regards
Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
