If it is using a derivate of printf (which I am presuming), then no.
printf(format, variables...)
so: printf("bla bla %s ble ble %d blu blu", string, integer);

Changing to 
 printf("bla bla %d ble ble %s blu blu", string, integer);

will result pretty badly!

Btw, am I right in presuming we do this?
Can there not be dramatic bugs if someone tampers the strings files?
Are this strings sanitized before being fed as a format?
