There are some strings which seem to be made in a “glue-them-together” manner. One example are the descriptions for factions (there are other examples as well). Needless to say, it is just a pain in the ass to translate these strings, because it is hard to tell the context. Another problem with this is that it forces a certain grammatical structure and parameter order onto the final text. Such strings came up in the WTF thread.
This problem can be fixed by dumping all “glue texts” and using proper format strings instead.
