<p class="advisement">Specifications SHOULD NOT require the concatenation of string values to form [=natural language=] or displayable string values.</p>
</div>

<p>Creation of [=natural language=] text values by concatenating multiple strings together is an internationalization anti-pattern. Languages vary greatly in word order, count, grammatical gender or case, punctuation, and many other requirements. As a result, avoid requiring or suggesting that implementations generate human-readable messages from sub-strings.</p>
