translation of strings with several placeholders is inflexible
problem is the same as http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=130068
This is especially felt in translations of list actions.
for example if I want to translate
msgid “item %i of %L”
msgstr "%L “
it doesn't work
in my language it is more common to say:
msgid ”replace item %i of %L with %s“
msgstr ”replace %L item %i with %s“
msgid ”insert %s at %i of %L“
msgstr ”insert to %L at place %i value %s"
but this also doesn't work
