[Padre-dev] Translation problems with positional parameters in msgids

Greetings Padre People,

I'm translating Padre to Turkish and encountered a problem with the current
system. For example:

msgid "'%s' missing in file '%s'\n"

For a meaningful translation, I need to change the location of parameters:
Original: <foo> missing in file <bar>
What I need: in file <bar>, <foo> is missing

I believe (did not check the code), the actual translation is done via
sprintf(). This does not seem to be a good idea for all languages.

Cheers,
Burak
