 Older WooCommerce admin analytics pages generat empty strings, which
 breaks in the i18n sprintf() method.

 This happens on the analytics overview page in React components (/wp-
 admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&path=analytics-overview)

 Is there a reason that the string variable isn't checked before the
 replace?
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-
 includes/js/dist/i18n.js#L172

 Happens and tested on WooCommerce versions:
 - 9.6.1
 - 9.6.2
 - 9.8.4
 - 9.9.4
 - 9.9.5
