If it is done this way, we need a extension for positional information.
If a message has 2 string parameters:

Volume %s is of type %s, arguments are expected in the order
"volumename" "type".

If I write the same sentense in another language, the type may come
first. A solution is to number arguments:

Volume %1s is of type %2s. So I can reorder the orguments in my
language.
