I attach a patch that makes sure all gettext messages with more than 
one dynamic content use numbered placeholders.

Say the following string:

sprintf(__('My name is %s %s.'), $firstName, $lastName)

It assumes that all languages will use the same order (first name, 
last name), but we can't make this assumption. We don't know how it 
will be translated. The problem can be solved as follows:

sprintf(__('My name is %1$s %2$s.'), $firstName, $lastName)
