Hi Edscott again,

Also, I have an i18n related request that putting '%s' into format
string. My language has SOV grammatical structure while English has
SVO, that means I'll have to see something uncomfortable at the
bottom status line when I launch an application. I want to have V-O
switched like:

    Eng.
    Executing <whatever xxx I launch>

    Jap.
    <Whatever xxx I launch> being executed

so, if possible can you modify it from the following

    #: libs/input.c:728 libs/input.c:735 libs/run.c:297
    #: libs/run.c:299 libs/run.c:300
    msgid "Executing"

to

    #: libs/input.c:728 libs/input.c:735 libs/run.c:297
    #: libs/run.c:299 libs/run.c:300
    msgid "Executing %s"

? Possibly that can be said in general as far as i18n is concerned
(it might be needed predicate <-> object etc. in certain case).
