If you are talking about gettext-like functionality, usually this and format strings are thought of as independent processing layers: format strings are translated as such and then fed to the formatting function. This brings some ramifications, as the order of parameters in the translated template can change, so the format syntax has to support positional parameters. But this also allows to account for data-derived context such as numeral cases, without complicating the printf-like functions too much. There are other difficulties with localizing formatted messages that are never systematically solved, for example, accounting for gender. In all, it looks like an interesting area for library research, beyond the basic "stick this value pretty-printed into a string" problem. Cheers, Mikhail
