Overview

dev/core#5581 Expose php & smarty compatibility

Before

No visibility over whether extensions are compatible with various smarty & php versions. For example recent releases of extendedreports are not compatible with smarty 2 and recent Omnipay is not compatible with PHP 7.4 - however there is no clue to that in the UI or the extension download system. In both cases they could cause obscure hard fails so this could be important information.

After

The compatibility can now be declared in the same way as the CiviCRM compatibility. At this point very few extensions will be declaring their compatibility so it will be of limited use to end users - but with the facility to declare it we can start to add the declarations into extensions

I think you're trying to save on translation by reusing the same string multiple times but some languages change the order of words, so these might translate oddly. I think I would just put the full thing in ts each time, in case maybe some languages don't capitalize "PHP" or use brackets differently.
