Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Problem/Motivation
In the Database install task the description of the prefix field is not elegant because of not spaced hyphens. (I said it was "minor" ^^)
Allowed in beta?
This is allowed in the d8 beta https://www.drupal.org/core/beta-changes
because it is only touching a translatable string.
Proposed resolution
Add spaces.
User interface changes
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Drupal in graphical mode
- Go to the "Set up database" step
- Open the "Advanced options" fieldset
Before:
If more than one application will be sharing this database, a unique table name prefix–such as %prefix–will prevent collisions.
After:
If more than one application will be sharing this database, a unique table name prefix – such as %prefix – will prevent collisions.

DuaelFrHere is the patch.
This string has been found running the script that detects untranslatable strings in core (even if this one is fully translatable, the tool also detects string containing non-ascii chars). See the related issue for more information.
