 ordering as part of the translated string itself without the original
 string having to change?

 strings should specify ordering and that there would be a lot more
 instances of troublesome strings than just this one.

 We should make it as easy as possible for translators to do the
 translations.  Part of this is using numbered placeholders where
 appropriate so as to make the translation process faster.
