However it's in fact a common culprit to do so. All languages do not share the same word order, or even the same logic for expressing things. Think of how to express plurality or negation for example. In some languages you can't just paste bits of sentence and make sense. You have to rephrase.

I think that "%s (%s)" is a fairly simple pattern that will work across languages. Plurals are a completely different matter, and you shouldn't conflate them just to pretend that "%s (%s)" would be bad for units of measurement.
