Fix placeholder checking

The placeholder checking didn’t work if the translation’s grammar generated a different number of parsed elements.

E.g., in English:
something {placeholder} — two elements
translation
something {placeholder} something — three elements

I determined that placeholders are always array elements in the parsed array, so filter for Array elements and check that there are the same number of array elements.
